US President, Donald Trump

US President Donald Trump say a sobering warning by his top infectious diseases expert about lifting pandemic restrictions too soon was unacceptable.

He accused Dr. Anthony Fauci of wanting “to play all sides of the equation”.

The President said he was especially dissatisfied with Dr. Fauci’s caution around reopening schools too quickly.

COVID-19 has infected nearly 1.4 million people in the US and killed 84,000, while ravaging the economy.
