US President Trump has urged Congress to amend a bumper coronavirus stimulus bill to increase stimulus payments to $2,000 (£1,500) per American.
In a video message posted on Twitter, he asked lawmakers to "remove wasteful and unnecessary items", adding that the package "really is a disgrace".
"It's called the Covid relief bill, but it has almost nothing to do with Covid," he said.
The $900bn bill includes one-off $600 payments to most Americans.
