Senior White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett said another round of stimulus payments is likely, adding that there will need to be relief to lift the U.S. economy as it grapples with high unemployment numbers.

The direct payments that were sent to tens of millions of Americans starting in April, which was included in March’s CARES Act, were “enormously successful,” he said in a Sunday interview.
