特朗普承认美抗疫早期"轻视"病毒:福奇曾说不是大事

（原标题：特朗普承认美国抗疫早期曾“轻视”病毒：连福奇都跟我说这不是什么大事）

周日，特朗普接受福克斯新闻采访，当被问及美国政府为何没能及时应对疫情时，特朗普辩解称，一开始“所有人”都没有对新冠病毒足够重视，包括美国抗疫专家福奇都曾对他说过，“这会过去的，这不是什么大事”。U.S. President Donald Trump defended the accusations of reacting slowly to the COVID-19 pandemic, saying that "everybody" – including U.S. leading infectious disease expert Anthony Fauci and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi – had previously downplayed the severity of the virus. "Nancy Pelosi was a month later saying it was going to pass, everybody, even Tony Fauci was saying it"s gonna pass, not gonna be a big deal," he added. He made the remarks during an interview with Fox News on Sunday night in response to a question about why he did not act sooner to prepare for a COVID-19 outbreak in the U.S.
