Coronavirus outbreak: Trump boasts about U.S. COVID-19 testing capacity | FULL

U.S. President Donald Trump and government officials addressed the country's COVID-19 testing capacity and response to the pandemic.

Trump began by discussing how "unmatched and unrivaled" America's COVID-19 testing capacity is compared to the rest of the world.

Trump insisted that any American who wants a test for the virus can get one, even though experts say there is no capacity for testing on that scale.

Trump addressed a Rose Garden audience filled with mask-wearing administration officials. That was after two known cases of COVID-19 among staffers in one of the most-protected complexes in America sent three of the nation’s top medical experts into quarantine and Vice-President Mike Pence into “self-isolation.”

Trump himself, not wearing a mask, was emphasizing to the American people the steps being taken to ensure their safety — in hopes that will coax them to resume normal activities.
He addressed the recent positive tests at the White House, defending their protocols saying " I don't think the system broke down at all."

Trump abruptly ended the news conference after CBS News White House Correspondent Weijia Jiang, who is Asian-American, challenged Trump on why he would tell her to "ask China" about her question on why it was important for Trump to show American was leading in coronavirus testing numbers.
