President Trump fails to wear face mask on tour of mask-making factory in Arizona

President Donald Trump has conceded that more Americans will die in reopening the US economy but underlined his insistence on a dwindling coronavirus threat by refusing to wear a mask, even as he toured a mask-making factory.

Mr Trump’s comments come after Mike Pence, the US vice president, confirmed at a press briefing that the White House was “having conversations” around winding down the coronavirus task force.
