The US president, Donald Trump has emphatically stated that his Covid-19 strategy in the country is “moving along well”, despite a nationwide surge in cases.
Trump used his Independence day (4 July) address to issue the claim, despite criticisms of his poor handling of the pandemic, while instead shifting the blame to China – where the virus originated – saying they must be “held fully accountable”.
The US has the world’s highest number of coronavirus deaths and infections, and confirmed more than 43,000 new Covid-19 cases in 24 hours on Saturday, according to figures from Johns Hopkins University.

The president also berated protesters who toppled monuments of US historical figures in recent anti-racism protests, but celebrated the “heroes” who some would consider divisive from their past actions in America’s history.
However, Twitter Inc on Thursday took down an image tweeted by the U.S. President Donald Trump from its platform, after receiving a copyright complaint from the New York Times.
The background picture was taken by a New York Times photographer, to accompany a feature article on then-presidential candidate Trump in September 2015.
Twitter now displays the message “This image has been removed in response to a report from the copyright holder,” in place of the tweet.
