Yellen says tax hike would pay for part of Biden infrastructure plan


Yellen, in an interview with CNBC, said details were still being worked out on the infrastructure and clean energy package, which would come on top of a US$1.9 trillion coronavirus relief plan that is now working its way through Congress.
