5 stories to know for March 11: One year into coronavirus, Governor Cuomo, Covid relief bill, US-China relations and the U.S. border problem
1. President Joe Biden will mark the one-year anniversary of the U.S coronavirus lockdown with a prime-time speech outlining his plans for tackling the pandemic.
2. A sixth woman accuses Andrew Cuomo of sexual harassment. The former aide alleges that Cuomo groped her at the Governor’s mansion. This is the most serious allegation yet against the New York governor. And calls are growing for Cuomo to resign.
3. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken will meet with top Chinese officials on March 18 in Alaska. Discussions week will likely focus on Beijing’s plans for Hong Kong, Taiwan and Uighurs.
4. Congress passes Joe Biden’s stimulus bill. The $1.9 trillion package will be signed into law on Friday. Recipients can expect the $1400 stimulus check to be sent out shortly after the signing.
5. President Joe Biden’s immigration coordinator Roberta Jacobson sends a warning to those trying to enter the United States: 'The order is not open’. The message comes as the U.S. grapples with a surge of migrants at its southern border, taxing resources and exposing President Biden to bipartisan criticism.
