Last-ditch virus aid talks underway; Trump team at Capitol

WASHINGTON (AP) — Trump administration negotiators are back at the Capitol for last-ditch talks on vital COVID-19 rescue money. Democratic leaders summoned them for another try with the negotiations teetering on the brink of collapse. Friday is an informal deadline to reach the broad outlines of an agreement with deadlocks on aid to states and local governments and renewing supplemental unemployment benefits blocking the way. Friday’s new report on jobs shows the U.S. added 1.8 million last month, but that’s a much lower increase than in May and June. Democrats say the rescue package needs to be huge to meet the moment.
