WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said on Wednesday the White House and Democratic leaders were far apart in talks on the next coronavirus relief legislation.

“I think both sides want to get to an outcome. That’s the good news. The bad news is we’re a long way apart,” McConnell told Fox News Channel in an interview.
