After an intense week of negotiations, a deal looked to be on the verge of being reached however, that was not the case. Talks halted as both sides struggled to agree on key terms such as, aid to local governments. A self imposed deadline passed on Friday, in which the timeframe given to agree on other issues like the unemployment benefits amount failed. Because they failed, President Trump made good on his word to sign executive orders to get certain aid released. A $400 unemployment benefit extension, eviction moratorium, student loan payment halt, and pay roll tax cuts. Questions arose about his legal right to do so, but representatives from the White House insist they will stand until a new bill is reached. Stimulus checks where not a part of the order , but stay tuned for what is sure to be a intense week on Capitol Hill.
