Trump says 'this is the time' to pass a $2 trillion infrastructure plan
in an effort to curb the economic fallout from the coronavirus.

"It should be VERY BIG & BOLD, Two Trillion Dollars, and be focused solely on jobs and rebuilding the once great infrastructure of our Country!" Trump said. In his tweet, Trump added "Phase 4," indicating that the plan could be bundled as part of the next coronavirus relief package, which Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has pushed for.Do you have a personal experience with the coronavirus you'd like to share?
