President Trump and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin tried to apply pressure on Democrats on Monday to resume stalled talks on a coronavirus relief bill, after a weekend when Trump signed executive actions that circumvented Congress.

It was unclear exactly what Trump was referring to, although Pelosi and Schumer both said on Sunday that they still favored a legislative solution if the administration would meet them in the middle and compromise.

In an interview on CNBC on Monday, however, Mnuchin argued that the administration already had compromised and Democrats were the ones who needed to compromise.

Despite the rhetoric -- and a claim by Trump on Sunday that the Democrats had called him -- there has been no communication between the two sides since two weeks of fruitless talks collapsed on Friday, according to Democratic aides.

With millions still unemployed and coronavirus deaths rising, Democrats, many Republicans and the administration hoped to agree on a new relief bill that would send out new $1,200 checks to individual Americans, provide a new round of funding for small businesses, and allocate money for schools, testing and vaccine development, among other provisions.

Democrats started at $3.4 trillion but suggested they were willing to end up around $2 trillion; Republicans, who started at $1 trillion, said $2 trillion was too high.

On Twitter, Trump repeated his claim that Democrats were insisting on “BAILOUT MONEY for Democrat run cities and states that are failing badly.” In fact, governors and municipal leaders of both parties have been pleading for additional assistance, in light of plummeting tax revenues that have been forcing mass layoffs.
