Coronavirus: Trump to announce “very important” news

Donald Trump announced Wednesday that he will hold a press conference today to release “very important information” from the federal drug agency regarding the coronavirus pandemic.

“I will hold a press conference today to discuss very important information from the FDA regarding the Chinese Virus! “, Tweeted the American president, without giving more details but using the controversial formula with which he designates the new coronavirus.

He added: “I have always taken the Chinese Virus very seriously and I have done a very good job from the start, including my very early decision to close the borders with China – against the will of almost everyone. Many lives have been saved. The new Fake News story is shameful and untrue! The Trump administration is accused, notably by its Democratic rivals, of having delayed reacting to the epidemic.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is the federal agency that oversees the marketing of drugs in the United States. The coronavirus pandemic has killed at least 100 people and infected nearly 6,500 people in the United States, according to statistics from Johns Hopkins University.
