'They're getting it together in New York, a lot of good things are happening in New York,' Trump said.
US President Donald Trump announced Monday that he would welcome New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, who has spearheaded the response to his state's coronavirus outbreaks, to the White House on Tuesday.New York is the epicenter of the US coronavirus epidemic, and more than a third of the 41,000 deaths nationwide have come from the state.
"Governor Cuomo should spend more time 'doing' and less time 'complaining'. Get out there and get the job done. Stop talking!" the president tweeted.On Friday, in comments that likely prompted Trump tirade, Cuomo launched a blistering attack on the president, accusing him of washing his hands of leading the campaign to boost coronavirus testing which Cuomo said is critical to do before opening up the economy.
"Is there any funding so I can do these things that you want us to do? No," Cuomo told a daily briefing."That is passing the buck without passing the bucks." But Cuomo has also lauded the president when he believed he has been supportive on issues such as building up hospital bed capacity and ventilators.
