US President Donald Trump on Monday said he supported the idea of giving Americans a second round of financial aid amid the novel coronavirus pandemic.

Asked if he backed another payment for Americans, Trump told Scripps Networks in an interview that he backed sending out a second check. 

"We will be doing another stimulus package" with Congress, he added, saying the bipartisan measure would come "over the next couple of weeks probably."
