New York Mayor Bill de Blasio fiercely attacked President Trump last night, claiming he was "not fingering" to help the largest U.S. metropolitan area. "I don't understand," De Blasio said in an interview with NBC. They will drive the military, which will use security production law fully so that equipment like ventilators will come to us ... If the president does not work, people who could live would die. "
Speaking to CNN, the New York mayor added that the city "is about 10 days away from a broad shortage of respirators, protective masks, the essentials to keep hospitals operating." "We saw almost nothing from the federal government at this point in time," he concluded. "We have pleaded publicly, privately, letters, phone calls - and very few things have come."
