The president blamed Pelosi for the end to negotiations, arguing she continuously requested too much money and was "not negotiating in good faith."
"Nancy Pelosi is asking for $2.4 Trillion Dollars to bailout poorly run, high crime, Democrat States, money that is in no way related to COVID-19," he tweeted. "We made a very generous offer of $1.6 Trillion Dollars and, as usual, she is not negotiating in good faith."
In response to the tweets, Pelosi put out a statement blasting the president and saying he was once again showing "his true colors: putting himself first at the expense of the country."
"Walking away from coronavirus talks demonstrates that President Trump is unwilling to crush the virus," she added.
But the move by Trump may have been a negotiating tactic. By removing comprehensive relief from the negotiating table but insisting upon stimulus checks, Trump may have forced Pelosi and the Democrats to give the president a victory before the election. Or, if she rejects the offer, it could backfire
