It is the largest economic package in US history. Trump told reporters at the White House that the need for immediate relief from this economic package would be met. He said that through this fund America will strengthen its small and big businesses. According to the news of the news agency Bloomberg, the infusion of funds under this scheme will help big companies, small businesses and people whose income has come to a standstill due to the measures taken to prevent the virus.
The US has emerged as the new center of the coronavirus, where more than one million people are reported to be infected. The US has overtaken China in terms of infection.
