US President Donald Trump has blasted the bipartisan $900 billion pandemic relief package that Congress just passed and has suggested that he may not sign it. Trump complained on Tuesday that the bill delivered too much money to foreign countries, but not enough to Americans. The bill provides for a $600 payment to most Americans, but Trump said he is asking Congress to amend the bill and "increase the ridiculously low $600 to $2,000, or $4,000 for a couple". He has asked the Congress to get rid of the wasteful and unnecessary items and to send him a "suitable bill".
