New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo will meet with President Trump at the White House on Tuesday to discuss the state’s response to the coronavirus pandemic.
Trump announced during his press conference on Monday that Cuomo would be joining him in Washington, D.C., to review their coronavirus strategy. The president praised some of the remarks the governor made about the state’s role in managing the virus and noted that the two would be meeting.
“They are really getting it together in New York. A lot of good things are happening in New York,” he said. “And I think the governor is going to come in to see us tomorrow. He’s coming to the Oval Office tomorrow afternoon. Andrew is going to be coming in with some of his people. So, we look forward to that.”
Trump and Cuomo have had a rocky relationship throughout the coronavirus pandemic. While the two have both lauded each other’s response to the virus at times, they have also had some clashes about who is responsible for what actions.
New York has been the hardest-hit state in the nation. As of Monday, the state had more than 252,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 18,609 related deaths.
