WASHINGTON, D.C. – During a Thursday afternoon press conference, President Donald Trump defended the controversial comments he made during a Bob Woodward interview.In his new book, “Rage,” Woodward reports that Trump admitted he knew weeks before the country’s first COVID-19 death that the virus was dangerous, airborne, highly contagious and “more deadly than even your strenuous flus,” CNN and the Washington Post report.And in audio released of their March 19 interview, Trump is heard saying, “I wanted to always play it down. I still like playing it down, because I don’t want to create a panic.”Trump said Thursday that if Woodward thought him downplaying COVID-19 was bad, he should have reported his comments earlier."If Bob Woodward thought what I said was bad, then he should have immediately, right after I said it, gone out to the authorities, so they can prepare and let them know," he told reporters who asked why he lied to the American public.The president said he didn’t want to cause a panic.“You don’t want me jumping up and down, saying there’s going to be great death, and really causing some serious problems for the country,” said Trump.When asked if he will downplay COVID-19 again, Trump said, “I don’t want to jump up and down, and start screaming ‘death,’ ‘death,’ because that’s not what it’s about. We have to lead a country.”Watch the press conference below:Apart from Woodward’s book, Trump said that there will be a signing at the White House next week between United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Israel. He added that, “we could have another country added into that.”Trump also took the opportunity to attack his general election opponent, former Vice President Joe Biden, on the Obama administration’s handling of the swine flu. The president believes “countless more Americans would have died” if the Democratic nominee was president during the COVID-19 pandemic.Additionally, Trump touched on students returning to universities, where large outbreaks have been reported and schools have been forced to quarantine students and turn to online learning.“Based on the recent data from more than 20 colleges, not a single who student who has tested positive has been hospitalized,” said Trump.The press conference came after a The event comes after an active morning on Twitter, during which Trump talked about a variety of things, including Kim Jong Un’s “good health” and his interview with Woodward.Meanwhile, the country’s COVID-19 death toll is nearing 200,000 and Congress remains at a standstill regarding a fifth coronavirus rescue package.Thursday, Senate Democrats scuttled a scaled-back GOP package, saying the measure shortchanges too many pressing needs caused by the pandemic.

We're just a few months away from the midterm elections, and with crucial races determining the balance of power in Washington, we're taking a hard look at the issues that matter to you!Each week, we'll dive deep into a new issue—from education and immigration to gun control and jobs.This week, we’re talking trade. In order to understand the trade war, it’s important to know what tariffs are.A tariff is basically a tax thrown on something that's being imported. Say a company in Country A really wanted to sell shoes in Country B. Country B could throw a tariff on those sweet sneakers, meaning it would cost the company in Country A more money to sell them. There are essentially two types of tariffs: specific and ad valorem. The latter is a flat tax on one unit of some imported good; like a 0 tariff on each bushel of wheat. Ad valorem, which means "according to value" in Latin, is a tax based on the percentage of that good's value.So, if there's a 15 percent tariff on a type of car, the money that tariff is bringing in would rise and fall with the car's market price, but the percentage would stay the same. Nowadays, tariffs can be implemented to protect domestic companies from worldwide competition and to protect consumers for national security reasons, or in retaliation for the actions of another country.But using tariffs come with a risk. If two countries start slapping punitive tariffs on each other, it could spark a tit for tat trade war, which almost no one wants.   1523

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House Thursday passed a 7 billion defense policy bill that would give the military a 2.6 percent pay hike, the largest in nine years.The bipartisan 351-66 vote sends the measure to the Senate, where a key panel completed a companion measure in a closed-door session on Wednesday.The annual measure sets policies and a budget outline for the Pentagon that are funded by a subsequent appropriations bill that typically follows its parameters fairly closely.The military got a major budget increase under the terms of a bipartisan pact passed earlier this year that the Pentagon's many allies in Washington promise will address shortfalls in military readiness such as pilot training, maintenance of equipment, and procurement of new weapons systems.Readiness issues contributed to a situation in which almost four times as many military service members died in training accidents as opposed to combat. Just this spring, aviation accidents have claimed 25 lives.House Armed Services Committee Chairman Mac Thornberry, R-Texas, said that the measure puts a particular focus on pilot training and retention."The key focus of this bill is restoring readiness to ensure that when our men and women in uniform go out on mission, they have the best equipment, the best training and the best support our nation can provide," Thornberry said.The measure would block the use of operational military units or military equipment if President Donald Trump carries out plans for a massive military parade in Washington, D.C., if it would hamper military readiness. 1581

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is insisting the Navy “will NOT be taking away Warfighter and Navy Seal Eddie Gallagher’s Trident Pin” that designates him a SEAL.Attorneys for Chief Petty Officer Edward Gallagher had accused the Navy of trying to remove the designation in retaliation for Trump’s decision last week to restore Gallagher’s rank.Gallagher was acquitted of a murder charge in the stabbing death of an Islamic State militant captive, but a military jury convicted him of posing with the corpse while in Iraq in 2017. He was demoted to chief.Trump tweeted, “This case was handled very badly from the beginning” and urged those involved to “Get back to business!”Gallagher filed a complaint with the inspector general accusing a rear admiral of insubordination for defying Trump’s actions. 817
