트럼프 몽니에 실업대책 일부 시한만료…연방정부는 셧다운 임박

The U.S. unemployment rate has more than doubled over the course of the pandemic.
But millions of Americans will see their government assistance put on hold,... as President Trump refused to sign a relief bill.
For more on this and other news from around the world, we turn to our Lee Kyung-eun.
Mok-yeon, unemployment assistance for Americans expired at midnight on Sunday,.... as President Trump refused to sign the 2-point-three trillion dollar stimulus package.
That bill includes major COVID-19 relief programs,... which uses some 9-hundred billion dollars to extend current payments to jobless workers.
The package would also extend the federal eviction moratorium,... which is set to expire on the last day of December.
Without an extension, millions could be kicked out of their homes immediately.
Latest studies show that nearly 10 million Americans were dependent on these two assistance programs.
Besides the impact on people, Trump’s resistance to signing the bill threatens a government shutdown when funding runs out at midnight on Tuesday.
