President Trump is visibly uncomfortable with thorny questions about India's religious violence and the Harvey Weinstein rape verdict.
Wrapping up a two-day trip to India, President Trump declined Tuesday to condemn India’s controversial new citizenship law, which discriminates against Muslims, and downplayed the threat from the coronavirus, which now has spread to 34 countries, claiming it’s “very well under control in our country.”
“I don’t know the actual results,” Trump said. “From the standpoint of women, I think it was a great thing and it sends a very strong message.” Trump tried to downplay the threat, claiming it’s “very well under control in our country” and that people infected in the United States “are getting better. They’re all getting better.”His comments appeared at odds with a warning Tuesday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that Americans should brace for the likelihood that the coronavirus will hit the United States and could cause major disruptions in travel, schools and commerce.
“It’s not so much of a question of if this will happen in this country any more but a question of when this will happen,” she said.
