Vice President Mike Pence told “The Ingraham Angle” in an exclusive interview Tuesday that President Trump will recommend loosening coronavirus-induced restrictions on the U.S. economy “at a responsible moment.”
“President Trump’s made it very clear that he wants to reopen the American economy, but we want to do it at a time that is responsible, [and] can be safe for the American people,” Pence said. “And we’re going to be producing new guidance for states across the country to to know when that will be possible.”
Pence spoke to Ingraham hours after White House coronavirus task force member Dr. Anthony Fauci told the Associated Press that the Trump administration’s May 1 target to loosen the federal coronavirus guidelines was “a bit overly optimistic.”
Fauci told the AP that the U.S. must have a widespread testing system “in place that is efficient and that we can rely on, and we’re not there yet.”
