Washington: US President Donald Trump has
said that the United States is the leading nation in the world with most
coronavirus tests and India is in the second position.
So far, more than
140,000 people have died due to Covid-19 in the US and 3.8 million have tested
positive.
On Tuesday at
the White House news conference, Trump said “As one family, we mourn every
precious life that's been lost. I pledge in their honour that we will develop a
vaccine and we will defeat the virus. We're doing very well with vaccine
development and therapeutic development,.
Trump also assured that coronavirus
vaccines will be coming a lot sooner than expected.
The "China virus", Trump said,
is a vicious and dangerous illness.
The US president added “It's a nasty, horrible disease that should've
never been allowed to escape China, but it did. It infected the world, and the
world is suffering. But we're going to get it taken care of, and we're helping
lots of other countries,”.
