Biden slams Trump for ending COVID stimulus talks, says he 'turned his back' on Americans

As US President Donald Trump abruptly ended talks with Democrats over a COVID-19 relief bill, his presidential rival Joe Biden criticised him for abandoning Americans in midst of a pandemic. Trump, on October 7, said that he has told his administration’s negotiators to stop coronavirus stimulus talks with Democrats until after vember 3 Presidential election. 

As his declaration ended an ongoing push to send trillions of dollars relief to Americans as outbreak ramps through country and ecomic struggles to recover from virus-related shutdowns, Biden said that President had ‘turned his back’ on American people. 

In two separate Twitter post, Biden said, “Make mistake: if you are out of work, if your business is closed, if your child's school is shut down, if you are seeing layoffs in your community, Donald Trump decided today that ne of that - ne of it - matters to him”.
