Pelosi and Trump Are at Odds Over Airline ReliefPelosi rules out airlines-only aid plan as President Trump claims stimulus talks are back on. “I shut down talks two days ago because they weren’t working out,” Mr. Trump said during a wide-ranging interview on Fox Business. Mr. Trump said the discussions had also touched on the possibility of another round of $1,200 stimulus checks. Before the start of trading, Mr. Trump said on television that negotiations on a broad stimulus package — not just an airline bill — had resumed. “I gave all of the money to the farmers and we had tens of billions leftover which goes into the Treasury,” Mr. Trump said.
