US President Donald Trump has rejected speculation from rival Joe Biden about a possible postponement of the presidential election due to the coronavirus crisis. “I never even thought about postponing the election date.”

Biden said journalists at a virtual fundraising gathering last Thursday said he believed Trump wanted to postpone the election because he thought it was the only way to win. Biden is the only remaining US Democratic presidential candidate after the withdrawal of left-wing Senator Bernie Sanders.

Silence on North Korea

US President Trump also hopes that North Korean ruler Kim Jong-un is doing well. He had a “very good idea” about how Kim was doing, “but I can’t talk about it now,” Trump said at the press conference in the White House rose garden. «I simply wish him all the best. I hope he is well, »said Trump. He later said with a view to Kim: “Nobody knows where he is.”

Kim hasn’t appeared in public in days. Since then there have been rumors that he is seriously ill. Trump last week described reports of the allegedly critical condition of the young ruler as likely to be wrong. North Korea is largely isolated from the outside world, which is why there is a lack of reliable information on the situation there.

Criticism of China

Trump is optimistic about the economic development of his country in the second half of the year. Trump also made this clear at the press conference in the rose garden of the White House. “I think we’re going to have a phenomenal third quarter,” Trump said. The fourth quarter and the coming year would also be phenomenal, Trump said.

Trump continues to believe that China could have prevented the coronavirus pandemic. «We are carrying out very serious investigations. We are not happy with China. We believe that it could have been stopped where it came from. It could have been contained very quickly and it would not have spread all over the world, »said on Monday. There are “many ways to hold them accountable.”

School openings

With regard to possible easing measures in the US, Trump assumes
that soon many schools could reopen, even if it only
are still a few weeks until the holidays. As a reason
he believes it looks like the virus is not young people
strongly affected. All parts of the country are in relation to the
Infection numbers in “good shape” or would become
Develop better.
