President Trump signed legislation that makes $8.3 billion in emergency funding available to combat the coronavirus outbreak.
Trump signed the bill on Friday at the White House before departing for Nashville, Tennessee, to assess tornado damage.
“We’ve signed the 8.3 billion. I asked for 2 1/2, and I got 8.3. And I’ll take it,” Trump told reporters.
