President-elect Joe Biden on Monday called for a new stimulus package to help the United States recover from the damage caused by coronavirus pandemic.

Biden, a Democrat who triumphed over Republican President Donald Trump in elections earlier this month, called for Congress to back a $2.2 trillion measure approved by the Democrat-led House of Representatives. Congress in March approved the $2.2 trillion CARES Act, which included a program of loans and grants to aid small businesses as well as expanded payments to the workers who lost their jobs.

Two runoff elections in Georgia set for early January will decide if Democrats can take control of the Senate and give the party unified control of Congress, but Biden called for Republicans to overcome their opposition to a spending package in the weeks before the new Congress is seated. Responding to a question from a reporter, Biden, a former vice president, warned “more people may die” of coronavirus if the administration refuses to coordinate with the incoming team, particularly on distributing potential vaccines.

Biden supported the UK in 1982 against Argentina. Good man. Not the first time the USA has been involved. USS Lexington arrested trespassing Argie pirates there in 1831. For a while, Britain feared the USA would stake its own claim.
