Trump promises financial help
President Donald Trump said Monday he will ask Congress to provide financial relief for workers and businesses hurt by coronavirus, as new cases were reported across the country and U.S. stocks suffered their worst drop since 2008.
Trump said he would be proposing "very major" and "very dramatic" measures but did not say specifically what they would be. He said his administration will meet Tuesday with House and Senate leaders to discuss a possible payroll tax cut and providing relief to hourly wage earners to ensure that they won't have to miss a paycheck.
