United States Democratic presidential hopefuls Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders have condemned President Donald Trump’s handling of the coronavirus outbreak during a Democratic debate on Sunday.
The Trump administration has come under stinging criticism for its handling of the crisis while the economy has gone into freefall, following the White House’s failure to take decisive action.
Late on Sunday, the US Federal Reserve announced emergency measures aimed at stanching the economic fallout of the coronavirus pandemic.
It cut the benchmark interest rate to near zero, bringing it to levels not seen since the 2008 financial crisis.
