Donald Trump has claimed the fact the US has 1.5 million confirmed coronavirus cases – the most of any country in the world – is a “badge of honour”.
The country has suffered almost 92,000 deaths of people with COVID-19, but the president suggested the infection figures should be a source of pride.
“By the way, you know when you say that we lead in cases, that’s because we have more testing than anybody else,” he told reporters at the White House.
“So when we have a lot of cases, I don’t look at that as a bad thing, I look at that as, in a certain respect, as being a good thing because it means our testing is much better.
“So I view it as a badge of honour. Really, it’s a badge of honour.
“It’s a great tribute to the testing and all of the work that a lot of professionals have done.”
