House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and President Trump have not spoken in nearly 10 months, even as negotiations between the White House and Congress to address the coronavirus pandemic have stalled
Trump called the negotiators three times on Thursday night while they were in Pelosi's office. But he only spoke with White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, according to Meadows.The calls underscored the rock-bottom relationship between the top leaders of the Republican and Democratic parties who are tasked with solving the health and economic crises.
One crucial provision -- an extra $600 per week in unemployment benefits -- expired on July 31 and another -- the Paycheck Protection Program, which helped keep millions of small businesses afloat -- expired on August 8. Pelosi has been negotiating with Mnuchin and Meadows -- but the talks broke down on Friday and devolved into finger-pointing, with the White House advisers recommending Trump move ahead with a series of executive orders.
