President Donald Trump said he supports a bill providing additional pandemic relief that would replenish a tapped-out small business aid program while providing money for coronavirus testing and overwhelmed hospitals.
The new package -- which could win Senate approval as soon as Tuesday afternoon -- would replenish the Paycheck Protection Program for small businesses, which was part of the $2 trillion stimulus approved late last month and ran out of money last week.
