In addition, the Treasury secretary expressed some support for blanket forgiveness of smaller PPP loans, after one lawmaker asked about a proposal to forgive all such loans under $150,000. The Democratic-run House and Republican-run Senate are on break and largely away from Washington, D.C., but lawmakers are set to return Monday and ramp up their negotiations with the Trump administration over what will go in the federal government’s next big coronavirus relief package, which is now expected to become reality around early August.
