Divided EU holds second day of talks over coronavirus rescue plan
Al Jazeera, 18 Jul 2020
European Council President Charles Michel has offered a revised plan for the European Union's proposed economic recovery fund to break a deadlock between the bloc's 27 leaders on the second day of a summit in Brussels, according to a document, diplomats and officials.
The EU leaders are meeting on Saturday for further talks over a 750 billion euros ($858bn) stimulus plan to breathe life into economies ravaged by the coronavirus pandemic after a meeting that ran late into Friday evening ended without a deal.
