President Trump Targets Broadband for COVID Negotiations

President Donald Trump on April 21 tweeted that broadband internet will be one of his own priorities in hashing out an upcoming fourth phase of coronavirus relief. (The Senate subsequently passed a $484 billion plan that still needs to go to the House.) The administration’s big priorities include “broadband for the Middle West,” President Trump later told reporters during his evening news briefing, adding that “the farmers have been treated terribly when it comes to the internet.”
