The US Senate approves $ 500 Billion bailout plan

The US Senate unanimously approved $ 484 billion in additional assistance to tackle the coronary virus epidemic of the US economy and hospitals treating epidemic patients and sent the bill to the House of Representatives for final approval later this week.

The bill, approved by the Senate, was accelerated by a vote in a semi-empty room immediately, shortly after congressional and White House leaders brokered a deal to counter the crisis.

President Donald Trump also urged Congress to give quick approval to the measure that mainly broadens loan financing for small businesses affected by the epidemic, leaving additional aid to state and local governments for a subsequent bill.
