President Trump criticized Dr. Anthony Fauci, the administration’s top infectious disease expert, in discussing the rise in new coronavirus cases.
“Dr. Fauci is a nice man, but he’s made a lot of mistakes,†Trump said in an appearance on Fox News Thursday night.
Coronavirus cases have spiked in Southern states since the beginning of June, oftentimes surpassing records for daily new cases. Fauci said Thursday that states experiencing renewed surges, many of which reopened before June, “should seriously look at shutting down.â€
Trump said that Fauci and others on his coronavirus task force had discouraged him from instituting travel bans on people coming from China and Europe "when Italy and when France and Spain were having all the problems," adding that the measures likely saved hundreds of thousands of lives.
