BREAKING: President Trump restricts 'all travel' from US to Europe starting Friday
President Trump addresses the nation Wednesday at 9 p.m. EDT about his administration's response to the coronavirus. Refresh frequently for updates.“The virus will not have a chance against us,” he said.
Advocates for paid leave say it's critical to help contain the spread of the virus as well as providing a safety net for low-income workers who are forced to stay home sick or self-quarantine. “This is not a choice we should be asking anyone to make in the United States of American in the 21st Century, but 32 million people in our country today – or about one out of every four private-sector workers – are faced with this impossible choice every time they get sick,” Murray said.
Italy has been hit the hardest, with more than 12,000 confirmed infections and more than 800 deaths, according to Johns Hopkins University data. France, Spain and Germany each have about 2,000 confirmed cases. "Tonight I want to speak with you about our nation's unprecedented response to the coronavirus outbreak," Trump said, noting the pandemic designation from the World Health Organization earlier in the day.
As Congress and the Trump administration negotiate an economic package to cope with the coronavirus, disagreements are emerging over whether to focus on tax relief or provide direct aid to people who lose income from illness or an economic downturn. During that speech, he stopped short of declaring a national emergency but declared one a month later to redirect funds from other federal agencies to the Department of Homeland Security to go toward building about 80 miles of barriers in California, Arizona and New Mexico. The decision led to a legal battle that went all the way to the Supreme Court, which ruled in July that he could use the military funding to build a portion of his wall.
