Washington, March 10 (AFP/APP):The US Congress on Wednesday passed Joe Biden’s enormous economic relief package, delivering a resounding victory for the US president and a desperately needed injection of cash to millions of families and businesses enduring the coronavirus pandemic.

The White House said Biden — who made the American Rescue Plan his top legislative priority — planned to sign the measure into law on Friday, days before unemployment benefits were scheduled to expire for millions of people.
