Vice President Mike Pence said Sunday he believes the economic impact of the new coronavirus will be short-lived and the U.S. economy will bounce back.
Speaking on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Pence said the U.S. economy was on a solid enough footing to withstand the outbreak-related turbulence that has rocked markets. Major Wall Street indexes suffered their worst week since the financial crisis last week amid a virus-driven equities selloff and the associated lurch towards safe-haven assets.
