Trump praises truckers as 'foot soldiers' in the war on coronavirus
Washington Times, Apr 17, 2020

President Trump praised the nation’s truckers Thursday with an event at the White House, saying they have a “critical role” in helping America to defeat the coronavirus by delivering food and crucial supplies.

Flanked by tractor-trailers on the circular driveway of the South Lawn, Mr. Trump said he was speaking for all Americans by saying, “thank God for truckers.”

“In the war against the virus, American truckers are really the foot soldiers that are carrying us to victory,” the president said. “Truckers are playing a critical role in vanquishing the virus, and they will be just as important as we work to get our economic engine roaring.”

He gave four truckers large gold keys, and said, “You’re essential, that I can tell you.”

Truck driver Dylan Madigan of DHL Express in New Jersey said he has been honored to deliver medical supplies in his job.
