Arguing that the Democrats, led by Speaker Nancy Pelosi, are not negotiating in good faith, US President Donald Trump has broken off talks on the new coronavirus stimulus package, saying he will pass one after he wins re-election.



Pelosi (D-California) is asking for $2.4 trillion to bail out “poorly run, high-crime Democrat states” funding that is entirely unrelated to the virus, Trump tweeted on Tuesday afternoon. 





“I have instructed my representatives to stop negotiating until after the election when, immediately after I win, we will pass a major Stimulus Bill that focuses on hardworking Americans and Small Business,” he added.
