Joe Biden warns of 'devastating consequence' if Trump delays COVID-19 relief package

US President-elect Joe Biden on December 26, warned of “devastating consequences” if President Donald Trump continued to delay signing a COVID-19 ecomic relief bill alrey passed by Congress. Trump, who is serving his last days in White House, has repeatedly slammed $900 million relief pack dubbing it as a “disgrace”. In a pre-recorded statement, Trump said he would t accept bill till appropriate alterations are me.

"I am asking Congress to amend this bill and increase ridiculously low $600 to $2,000, or $4,000 for a couple," Trump said in a statement.

However, his demand brings him at loggerhes with Republican majority leer Mich McConnell and House Majority leer Kevin McCarthy, both of who have ruled out possibility of any stimulus measures. Pointing out at Trump’s “abdication of responsibility”, Biden said that delay could have “devastating consequences”. Speaking in statistical terms, he said that about 10 million Americans would lose unemployment insurance benefits once existing government funding expires.

"In just a few days, government funding will expire, putting vital services and paychecks for military personnel at risk. In less than a week, a moratorium on evictions expires, putting millions at risk of being forced from ir homes over holidays."

He also highlighted that a delay in stimulus pack would mean that more small business would perish in upcoming “dark winter season.”

“Delay means more small businesses won't survive this dark winter because y lack access to lifeline y need, and Americans face furr delays in getting direct payments y deserve as quickly as possible to help deal with ecomic devastation caused by Covid-19," Biden ded.
