WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump, who has threatened to act unilaterally if Congress does not agree on further coronavirus aid, on Thursday said he is continuing work on an executive order targeting eviction protections and unemployment benefits.
The order would also address student loan repayment options and payroll tax cuts, he said in a tweet as Democratic leaders and Trump administration officials continue negotiations on a possible deal.
