President Trump on March 18 signed into law an emergency aid package aimed at helping Americans affected by the coronavirus.

The House-passed measure was approved by the Senate earlier and includes provisions offering paid leave benefits for Americans, increased unemployment benefits and free diagnostic testing for the virus.

The Trump administration is negotiating with Senate Republicans on an economic stimulus package to assist small businesses, American workers and specific sectors such as the airline industry impacted by the coronavirus. The White House has proposed a $1 trillion stimulus package, which would send direct cash payments to Americans.
