Trump said there are large quantities of masks, respirators, gowns, face shields and other items currently en route to those three states, due to arrive within days. He added that he has ordered the government to set up large federal medical stations in each of the states.
Of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Trump said"the relationship has really been amazing," adding that he believes the federal government should serve as"sort of a backup for the states."He also pledged that victory over the novel coronavirus will happen"much sooner" than first expected. The Sunday evening announcement came as governors clamored for more assistance from the federal government in combating COVID-19, which is expanding its reach across both the U.S. and the world. Much of the United States is now under some level of economic shutdown.Allan Smith
