Trump reportedly seeks to block testing funds as Covid-19 surges across south and west
Covid-19 cases are surging across much of the American south and west, as familiar scenes of weary doctors and nurses in packed hospitals replay across a whole new region.
In Washington, Congress is gearing up to pass another economic stimulus package.
Optimistic economists once thought such a package could be unnecessary, but Covid-19 is now expected to continue to hurt the economy.
The White House is reportedly trying to hurt any resultant bill.
According to the Washington Post, the Trump administration is pushing to block billions of dollars for state-run testing and tracing, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and attempts to combat the pandemic at the Pentagon and state department.
