President Donald Trump has announced that naval hospital ship the USNS Comfort, which was sent to New York City to assist with a surge in CCP virus patients, will return to Virginia soon so it can be routed elsewhere.

Speaking at a White House press briefing on April 21, Trump said he had met with New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the two had discussed testing and funding for states. Trump said he also asked Cuomo about reallocating the USNS Comfort to another area where it’s needed.
