WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Negotiators in Congress are poised to announce an agreement for $10 billion in more COVID-19 funding to address U.S. needs but have dropped international aid from the package, the Washington Post reported on Monday.

Lawmakers could not agree on additional money in global aid to address the novel coronavirus, the Post said, citing two people familiar with the deal.
