On Tuesday, President Donald Trump asserted that the US will be able to perform 5 million coronavirus tests a day “very soon,” but on Wednesday Trump walked back that statement, according to CBS News.
During a press conference on Tuesday, a reporter asked Trump whether the US would soon have the capacity to perform 5 million coronavirus tests per day. Initially, the President didn’t answer the question. When the reporter followed up, asking the President to clarify, Trump responded that he believed the US would be able to reach that number in the near future.
“Oh, well, we’re going to be there very soon. If you look at the numbers, it could be that we’re getting very close. I mean, I don’t have the exact numbers.”
REPORTER: Experts say the US needs to do 5 million tests per day to safely reopen. Why doesn't your testing plan go that far?
