US President Donald Trump announced that the outbreak of the Corona virus could have a negative impact on the US economy, but he expected the crisis to be finally overlooked.
According to Reuters, Trump said in response to a question whether the Corona virus had damaged the economy, no doubt it might affect. At the same time, I must say that people now stay in the United States and spend their money there, and I like it.
He added, the matter will find its way to a solution. Everyone should calm down ... We have plans for every possibility and I think this is our duty. We hope it won't be too long.
Trump reiterated that the travel restrictions imposed by China at the start of the crisis had helped curb the outbreak in the United States. The death toll from the Coronavirus in the United States rose to 12 on Thursday, while it discovered 53 new cases across the country.
Trump appeared on an event organized by Fox News as part of his campaign for the 2020 elections in front of an audience from Scranton, Pennsylvania, one of the undisputed states that helped the Republican president win the White House race in 2016.
The spread of the Coronavirus has led to sharp falls in the stock market and fueled fears of an economic downturn as Trump calls on Americans to elect him for a second term.
