Schumer urges Trump to invoke Defense Production Act to rush medical equipment to providers

„I had a very good telephone conversation, extremely good, with Sen. Schumer a little while ago,“ the president said. „We were working on various elements of the deal, and the Democrats are very much wanting something to happen, and the Republicans likewise are very much wanting something to happen. And I think it will.“ 

Trump said he also „spoke at length“ with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), and insisted there exists a „tremendous spirit to get something done.“ 

„So we’ll see what happens,“ Trump said, „but my conversation was very good with Senator Schumer.“

The president did not address the Defense Production Act. The White House did not immediately return a request for comment.
