the Trump administration adamantly will not shut down the American economy again. Fourteen states across the US have seen a recent rise in coronavirus cases; however, the Trump administration adamantly will not shut down the American economy again. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin previously admitted to CNBC that the lockdown was a lesson learned for the Trump administration, saying that the measures did more harm than good. In a late night interview with Fox News on Wednesday, President Trump confirmed that a quarantine would not be implemented at the federal level. The president admitted that when the virus first reached the US, the impact was not widely understood, and he regrets shutting down schools as it is “unfair to the children.” President Trump said that the US is well-equipped to handle the virus to the extent that there is an excess of supplies. He fully expects schools to reopen in the fall and said that a vaccine would be forthcoming.
