Trump says won't allow long-lasting damage to economy from virus


"America will again and soon be open for business," Trump told a news conference at the White House.

WASHINGTON: U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday he will not allow the coronavirus to do long-lasting damage to the U.S. economy and that he would consider how to move forward after a 15-day shutdown ends next week.

"America will again and soon be open for business," Trump told a news conference at the White House.

He added: "We are not going to let it turn into a long-lasting financial problem."

Trump also said said a clinical trial for possible treatment of the deadly coronavirus will begin in New York soon, reiterating his belief that a combination of anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine and the antibiotic azithromycin could beat back the global pandemic.
