Trump: US 'Totally Prepared' for Coronavirus VOA News U.S. President Donald Trump said Wednesday he thinks the spread of a new coronavirus in the United States is avoidable and expressed confidence his administration is ready to respond. "I don't think it's inevitable," he told reporters at the White House. "It probably will. It possibly will. It could be at a very small level or could be at a larger level. Whatever happens, we're totally prepared." He added that "the risk to the American people remains very low." .
