Following another unproductive meeting between the White House and Democrats on coronavirus aid, Donald Trump said he would take executive action if the two sides fail to reach an agreement. The executive action will be taken on a payroll tax cut, student loan assistance, evictions, and unemployment insurance.

Even after a 90-minute meeting, negotiators came out of the Capitol on Friday without reach a deal. Both sides have not been able to make noteworthy progress toward bridging the gap over spending to combat the unprecedented time of coronavirus pandemic. The White House officials and Democrats focused on fundamental disagreements over how to address the critical situation, without showing signs of agreeing on legislation that could pass the chambers of Congress, CNBC reported.

Expressing his views in a ballroom teeming with New Jersey country club members on Friday, Trump threatened that he would use his authority as president to make sure Americans get their relief if Congress fails to make a deal with his administration. The president noted that his pending executive orders would prolong lapsed enhanced unemployment benefits through the end of 2020 without specifying the level at which they would be extended.

Moreover, the president said that the executive orders would indefinitely suspend federal student loan payments and carry on an expired eviction moratorium. It is worth noting that Congress has control over federal spending, meaning, Trump's power to extend the aforesaid programs are unclear at the moment, but the president said he wasn't worried about the legality of the actions.

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said on Friday that it would take some more time before the executive orders are finalized and processed. Negotiators White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, Mnuchin, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi made negligible progress toward a relief deal in more than a week and a half of discussions, and details about when they plan to restart discussions on legislation are scarce.

Schumer touted the huddle as disappointing. Pelosi and Schumer said the White House turned down their offer for Democrats to cut the asking price for their legislation by $1 trillion and for the administration to raise its spending by the same amount. Speaking to reporters, Pelosi said she asked them to come back when they are willing to give them a higher number.

Mnuchin said he would return to the table only when Democrats change their approach toward the pandemic relief. He said he and Meadows will come back any time to discuss new proposals.
