WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump's May 1 target for restarting the economy is 'overly optimistic,' his top infectious disease adviser said on ...
US President Donald Trump speaks during a meeting with recovered coronavirus patients and family members as Michigan State Rep. Karen Whitsett listens in the Cabinet Room at the White House.
"We have to have something in place that is efficient and that we can rely on, and we're not there yet," Fauci added. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo speaks during a news conference at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center which will be partially converted into a temporary hospital during the outbreak of the coronavirus.
The coronavirus restrictions have crippled the US economy, with businesses forced to close and million of Americans becoming unemployed, in a development that could hurt Trump's re-election prospects. "Tell the Democrat Governors that 'Mutiny On The Bounty' was one of my all time favourite movies," the Trump wrote on Twitter on Tuesday, referring to a classic film about a rebellion against the commanding officer of a British naval vessel in the late 18th century.
Some Republicans, including the governors of Ohio, Maryland and New Hampshire, also said states have the right to decide when and how to reopen.
