US Senate unanimously votes to extend small-business aid program through August

Reuters is out with the latest headlines, citing that the US Senate unanimously voted late Tuesday to extend a $660 billion lending program, as it was due to expire.

The lending package is expected to help small businesses that have been hit hard by the coronavirus.

Next, the House of Representatives must also approve the extension, which would keep the Paycheck Protection Program operating through August 8, Reuters reports.
