“I think there is a strong likelihood we will need another bill,” Mnuchin said on Monday according to CNN. “We’re going to step back for a few weeks and think very carefully if we need to spend more money and how we’re going to do that.”
Washington is expected to reconvene in the coming days to discuss further legislation to help struggling Americans.
