'I’m OK with it,' President Trump said of Gov. Steve Sisolak's closure of nonessential businesses, which has shuttered Las Vegas hotels and casinos.
Speaking at Sunday's daily White House briefing of the Coronavirus Task Force, Trump gave qualified support to Nevada's Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak's closure amid the coronavirus pandemic, even though the move has shut his own Trump International Hotel Las Vegas.
Nevada has 3,728 confirmed cases of coronavirus, with 155 deaths. Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman called on Sisolak to immediately open the city for business Wednesday. Trump was asked point-blank whether he supported the governor or the mayor's opposing viewpoint on Las Vegas' closure as a public safety measure. Trump said he was staying out of the decision.
Discussing the closure of other hotels around the country amid the coronavirus pandemic, Trump expressed concern, including for his Trump National Doral Miami hotel and golf course in Florida.
