US President Trump invoked emergency powers Friday, declaring a national emergency over the coronavirus outbreak, which will allow more federal aid to flow to states and municipalities.
“I am officially declaring a national emergency,” the president noted during a news conference in the Rose Garden. “No resources will be spared, nothing whatsoever.
The announcement came an hour after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi partially preempted Trump by making a public statement from the Capitol, outlining legislation she has negotiated largely with Treasury Secretary Steven T. Mnuchin that, she pointed out, would ensure that coronavirus testing is free for all Americans, including the uninsured.
