Trump downplaying Covid-19 is historic national tragedy: Nancy Pelosi

Hindustan Times  

US President Donald Trump’s downplaying the Covid-19 pandemic in the United States is a historic national tragedy, said the Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi, here on Wednesday. In journalist Bob Woodward’s book, Trump revealed that he “played it down” with regard to the severity of Covid-19 to the American people as he “didn’t want to create panic”. “The President’s own words spell out the devastating truth: Trump was fully aware of the catastrophic nature of the coronavirus but hid the facts and refused to take the threat seriously, leaving our entire country exposed and unprepared,” Pelosi said in a statement. She said further, “We must have a science-based strategic plan to defeat the coronavirus, as advanced in the Heroes Act that Senate Republicans continue to block.” In journalist Bob Woodward’s book, Trump revealed that he “played it down” with regard to the severity of Covid-19 to the American people as he “didn’t want to create panic”.
