SCRANTON - President Donald Trump said on Thursday the US economy might take a hit from the coronavirus outbreak but he predicted the challenge would eventually pass and defended his handling of the crisis.
During the programme, Trump weighed in on the race for the Democratic nomination to face him in the Nov 3 election and dismissed a question as to whether his polarising style deepens America's political divide. Asked if the coronavirus outbreak hurt the economy, Trump said:"It certainly might have an impact. At the same time, I have to say people are now staying in the United States, spending their money in the US, and I like that.""It's going to all work out. Everybody has to be calm," he said."We have plans for every single possibility and I think that's what we have to do. We hope it doesn't last too long.
Trump has faced criticism from Democrats for not having the country properly prepared for the possibility of a pandemic.
