President Trump called for an additional $2 trillion in government spending on a nationwide infrastructure plan Tuesday; saying the “big and bold” proposal could help create jobs for millions of Americans during the Coronavirus crisis.
“With interest rates for the United States being at ZERO, this is the time to do our decades long awaited Infrastructure Bill. It should be VERY BIG & BOLD, Two Trillion Dollars, and be focused solely on jobs and rebuilding the once great infrastructure of our Country! Phase 4,” posted Trump on Twitter.

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo issued a dire warning to residents across the state Tuesday; saying the Coronavirus is “more dangerous than expected” with a 14% increase in just 24 hours.
“I’m tired of being behind this virus. We’ve been behind this virus from day one,” Cuomo said at a press conference in Albany. “We underestimated this virus. It’s more powerful, it’s more dangerous than we expected.”
“We’re the ones who are hit now. That’s today, but tomorrow it’s going to somewhere else, whether it’s Detroit, whether it’s New Orleans. It will work its way across the country,” the governor said.
Earlier this week, the US Navy Hospital Ship ‘Comfort’ arrived in New York Harbor to help combat the Coronavirus crisis.
“The USNS Comfort will provide roughly 1,000 hospital beds, and 1,200 personnel to New York, Cuomo said on Twitter. It will be used to treat patients who don’t have COVID-19 to free up other hospital rooms for coronavirus patients, the governor has previously said,” reports CNBC.
