The White House is trying to block billions of dollars for coronavirus testing and contact tracing in the upcoming stimulus relief bill, Republican sources told NBCNews.
Some White House officials reportedly believe new money shouldn't be allocated for testing because previous assistance funds remain unspent.
Senate GOP lawmakers, in a break with the administration, are pushing back and trying to keep the money for testing and tracing in the bill, the sources told NBC News. Some White House officials reportedly believe new money shouldn't be allocated for testing because previous funds remain unspent.
The Times' report portrayed a president who feels trapped politically because cases counts inevitably increase as more people are tested, jeopardizing the reopening of the economy and damaging his re-election chances. "Well, cases are up -- many of those cases shouldn't even be cases," the president said. "Cases are up because we have the best testing in the world and we have the most testing.". Health officials have repeatedly pointed out that new cases have outpaced the increase in testing, which indicates that the virus is spreading rapidly in communities across the country.
"No country has ever done what we've done in terms of testing. We are the envy of the world," Trump said. "You look at other countries, they don't even do tests. They do tests if somebody walks into the hospital."
