President Donald Trump urged Americans to wear masks in public as CCP virus cases continue to rise across the United States.

“I’m all for masks. I think masks are good,” Trump told Fox News Business, adding that he doesn’t necessarily support a nationwide mandate for Americans to wear masks. There are “many places in the country where people stay very long distance,” Trump said.
