The president faulted the WHO and again praised his administration’s response, despite the U.S. having the highest number of cases and COVID-19 deaths.
Partway through the briefing, Trump began to shift future responsibility for reopening the largely closed U.S. economy on state governors, one day after declaring“The governors are responsible. They have to take charge,” he said, explaining he’d authorize each governor to implement the reopening plan for their state.
“The governors will be held accountable,” Trump said, after noting that over 20 states were in “extremely good shape” when it came to the spread of the coronavirus. Pressed on how the president would ensure workers were not sent back to their jobs under unsafe conditions if a governor were to reopen a state’s economy too early, Trump pushed the onus back on governors, saying: “That’s going to be up to the governors. The governors are going to want to make sure everything’s safe.”
