US Treasury Sec. Mnuchin: Can’t shut down economy again, this will cause more damage

Over the next month, another $1 trillion will be pumped into the US economy, US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin told CNBC on Thursday.

“We can’t shut down the economy again, this will cause more damage,” Mnuchin argued. “Further aid to states will be subject to discussion with Congress.”
