"Our country is at war with an invisible enemy," Trump said, referring to COVID-19. "We are marshaling the full power of the American nation ... to vanquish the virus, and we will do that."
Trump also referred to the ship as a "70,000-ton message of hope and solidarity to the incredible people of New York."
