Kudlow, Mnuchin, Ross test negative for COVID
Mnuchin and Pelosi continue stimulus negotiations
National Economic Council Director Larry Kudlow weighs in on President Trump’s positive coronavirus results, another stimulus package and the September jobs report.
White Advisor Larry Kudlow tells FOX Business he has tested negative for COVID-19.
In an interview with Stuart Varney he noted he will continue daily testing, along with other White House officials.
His disclosure comes as U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin also tested negative for COVID-19 as did Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, FOX Business has confirmed.
The disclosures come after President Trump and first lady Melania tested positive.
Treasury spokesperson Monica Crowley, in a tweet, announced the testing is part of a daily routine Mnuchin undergoes.
Mnuchin, earlier this morning, wished Trump and the first lady a "speedy recovery" after both tested positive for COVID-19.
U.S. stocks, while lower, trimmed losses midday Friday.
