Axne Statement on Stimulus Negotiations | 2020-10-06 | 2020 | 2020-10 | Democrat | House | IA | Cynthia Axne | A000378 | axne.house.gov | legacy | Today,Rep.Cindy Axne (IA-03)issued the following statement on President Trump's decision to suspend bipartisan negotiations over a coronavirus (COVID-19) relief bill: With more than 210,000 lives lost to this pandemic, half of all restaurants at risk of closing in the next six months, millions of kids out of school, and thousands of Iowa families struggling to keep food on their tables and roofs over their head,we cannot afford to wait to come to an agreement. By abruptly ending all bipartisan negotiations on our next coronavirus relief package, President Trump has condemnedpeople in communities across Iowa to suffer and wait until he's willing to return to the negotiating table.Itisunconscionable that he has done so over claiming that he is uninterested in supporting vital local services like our schools and first responders. Over the past week, negotiations had resumed working towards an agreement that could help those still in need and I pushed for our full support and attention to be given to seeing those talks succeed. For the many Iowans that are still struggling in this crisis, I urge the President to reconsider his position so that we can resume talks as soon as possible. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
