White House aides reportedly stepped in to keep Trump from calling for $2,000 stimulus checks fearing it could torpedo relief talks

US President Donald Trump looks on during a ceremony presenting the Presidential Medal of Freedom to wrestler Dan Gable in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, DC on December 7, 2020.President Donald Trump was talked out of calling for $2,000 stimulus payments because it could derail fragile relief talks between Republicans and Democrats, The Post reported.

Trump was in the midst of outlining his desire when White House officials told him the move would capsize the negotiations between top Republicans and Democrats, which appear. Republicans are trying to keep the price tag of a relief package under $1 trillion, and larger direct payments could swell the legislation's cost well beyond that.

An anonymous source told the Post that "aides were really frantic, saying: 'We can't do this; it will blow up negotiations.'" Ben Williamson, a White House spokesman, told The Post that Trump supports large relief payments for struggling Americans. "The President has heard from Americans all over the country who are hurting through no fault of their own, and he's made clear he wants the next round of relief to include stimulus checks at a significant number," he said. "We're working with Congress to settle on an agreement that can pass as soon as possible."
