The president’s comments come amid an ongoing stalemate over the details of a further relief package amid the coronavirus crisis.

President Donald Trump has accused House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) of not caring about the American people amid a stalemate over an agreement on further stimulus.
Pelosi has been involved in negotiations with Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, and previously White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, in attempts to reach a bipartisan agreement on another relief package.
She has rejected proposals from the White House, stating that in her opinion they are insufficient to meet the needs of the COVID-19 crisis.
Trump himself and White House negotiators have previously suggested a piecemeal approach, though Democrats have rejected this and pushed to reach a comprehensive deal.
“Nancy Pelosi couldn’t care less about the American People or the great American Worker,” Trump said in a tweet, criticizing the Speaker on her stance on stimulus “She should approve needed STIMULUS now. Most other Dems agree. Republicans are ready to go, I am ready to sign!!!”

In a previous statement, Pelosi said proposals from the administration fell “significantly short of what this pandemic and deep recession need.”
“A fly on the wall or wherever else it might land in the Oval Office tells me that the President only wants his name on a check to go out before Election Day and for the market to go up,” she said.
“The American people want us to have an agreement to protect lives, livelihoods and the life of our American Democracy. Democrats are determined to do so!
“The President’s attitude is shameful, when the need for immediate and meaningful action could not be more urgent.”
Democrats have twice passed packages in the House of Representatives, the HEROES Act and then an updated version of this, since the CARES Act was signed more than six months ago.
However, Senate Republicans pushed back against these proposals, with an overarching issue being that of cost.
Newsweek has contacted the White House and Pelosi for comment.
