WASHIGNTON – United States President Donald Trump said he will announce Thursday the first plans for lifting coronavirus lockdowns across the United States after the country passed the pandemic’s “peak,” mirroring a gradual easing in Europe.
His comments came shortly before the number of US fatalities – already the world’s highest – reached a new daily record and became the heaviest one-day death toll of any nation.
“It is clear that our aggressive strategy is working,” he told a news conference late Wednesday in Washington. “The battle continues but the data suggests that nationwide we have passed the peak on new cases.” (AFP)
