President Donald Trump on Thursday is discussing his administration’s coronavirus pandemic response with world leaders, U.S. governors, and lawmakers as he prepares to announce guidelines for states to follow on reopening their economies.
Trump held a morning video teleconference with the Group of Seven leaders to coordinate responses to the outbreak. This year Trump is head of the group which consists of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States. Shortly before the conference, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe declared a state of emergency for his country. European countries including Germany, meanwhile, have begun to relax restrictions.
