President Donald Trump on Tuesday rebooted his coronavirus briefings with a warning about a surge in U.S. cases even as he sought to reassure Americans that his administration has the crisis under control.
Trump took a notably more reserved tone than in earlier briefings, encouraging Americans to wear masks and avoid risky behavior. He said he views governors as his partners, a change in tone from several months ago when he repeatedly tore into state executives who criticized him.
