(ANSA) - WASHINGTON, MAR 11 - Joe Biden signed the $ 1900 billion Covid aid plan in the Oval Office, calling it a "law that will turn the page in the pandemic and restart our economy".
It is one of the largest aid packages in American history: Bidenha anticipated to date the signing, initially scheduled for Friday, after dem approval in Congress despite compact republican opposition.
A new deal that according to the IMF "will increase US GDP by between 5 and 6% in three years" and will also help the world recovery, at a time when the US are showing early signs of recovery, as is also shown by the heat of unemployment benefits celebrated by Wall Street.
But it is also a maneuver with a strong social imprint, which enhances welfare and could halve poverty.
"A historic legislative package that will turn the page in this pandemic, deliver immediate aid to the Americans and get our economy moving again," Biden insisted.
