Iran Press/America: “He’s got this high approval rating,” Donald Trump said Tuesday at the White House coronavirus task force briefing, “so why don’t I have a high approval rating?”
At the briefing, Trump also defended a viral video that he helped spread in retweets on Monday, even as social media platforms scrambled to remove it because it contained misleading and false claims about the coronavirus pandemic.
The global death toll nears 664,000, with more than 16,900,000 confirmed cases, according to the World Health Organization, which declared the outbreak a'“pandemic'.
COVID-19 was first detected in China's Wuhan in late December and has since spread across the world. In late January, the World Health Organisation declared a global health emergency in light of the epidemic.
