WASHINGTON - Two top US economic advisers on Sunday defended the need for an expeditious reopening of the economy even as the coronavirus reached into the White House despite the extraordinary precaut
ions taken there.
Kudlow was asked on ABC's This Week how US businesses could reopen with confidence when the White House - where virus protections are far more rigorous than most Americans enjoy - has recently seen at least two staff members infected. But he emphasised that the bottom-line responsibility would be not on government but on individual businesses.
Kudlow, pushing back on reports of growing partisan tensions over another tranche of emergency relief, said informal talks with Democrats were under way."We just want to make sure that before we jump back in and spend another few trillion of taxpayers' money, that we do it carefully," Mnuchin said.
