NEW DELHI (AP) — President Donald Trump is trying to minimize fears about coronavirus spreading rampantly in the United States. He says the situation is “very well under control in our country.”
At the same time, his administration has asked Congress for an additional $2.5 billion for preparations in case of a widespread outbreak.
Trump addressed the issue at a news conference in New Delhi following meetings with India's prime minister.
Trump says the U.S. has “very few people” with coronavirus.
The United States has 35 of the more than 80,000 confirmed coronavirus cases worldwide.
