Also on Monday afternoon, President Trump made a big announcement that will provide some economic relief for workers.

President Donald Trump announced on Monday that the administration was going to seek to cut payroll taxes and provide economic relief to hourly employees who suffer economic harm from the coronavirus, which originated in China.

Trump noted, “We are going to take care of and have been taking care of the American public and the American economy. We are going to be asking tomorrow, we’re seeing the Senate, we’re going to be meeting with House Republicans, Mitch McConnell, everybody, and discussing a possible payroll tax cut or relief, substantial relief, very substantial relief, that’s a big number.

He added, “We’re also going to be talking about hourly wage earners getting help so that they can be in a position where they’re not ever going to miss a paycheck. We’re going to be working with companies and small companies, large companies, lot of companies, so they don’t get penalized for something that is not their fault, it’s not their fault.
