US President Donald Trump told a news conference at the White House earlier this year that he had decided not to comment immediately on the threat of a coronavirus pandemic to avoid panic in the country, as well as rising prices for medical supplies and personal protective equipment.
According to Gadin.Net, this was reported by TASS.
The president of the United States stressed that the last thing the country's officials had to demonstrate was "anxiety, excitement and fear."
In one of his speeches, US presidential candidate Joe Biden accused Trump of keeping silent about the coronavirus threat and failing to inform the public in a timely manner.
