President Trump said Thursday he disagreed with Anthony Fauci’s statement that the U.S. does not yet have the testing capacity that it needs to effectively contain the spread of the novel coronavirus as stay-at-home restrictions are relaxed.
“No, I don’t agree with him on that. I think we are doing a grab job on testing,†Trump told reporters at a White House briefing Thursday evening when asked about Fauci’s recent remarks in a Time magazine interview.
“If he said that, I don’t agree with him,†Trump continued.
The president described the U.S. as more advanced than other nations on testing, claiming that other countries have inquired about American capabilities.
“We’re doing very well on testing. We’ve tested far more than anyone else in the world and within a short period of time you’ll be hearing about new tests that are coming out that are going to be incredible,†Trump said.
