Trump signs 3 major decisions and Macron supports Italy .. Corona strikes 600 thousand and puts 3 billion under the stone

The number of infections in the world with the Corona virus exceeds six hundred thousand people, while the number of deaths exceeds 27 thousand, while more than three billion people spend a new week in quarantine in the face of the accelerating spread of the virus that strikes the power of Europe and America.

America, like other countries in the world, is racing to reduce the impact of the epidemic, control its spread and face its health, economic and social repercussions.

As of Friday, the number of confirmed infections with the new Corona virus in the United States has exceeded the threshold of one hundred thousand cases, while the number of confirmed cases reached 18 thousand cases yesterday alone, according to a statistics by Johns Hopkins University, and thus became the first United States in the world in the number of officially declared infections With the virus.

President Trump signed a series of major decisions to confront the virus, announcing that a decision was signed authorizing the defense and internal security ministries to call in the Army and Coast Guard reserves to respond to the outbreak of the new Corona virus (Covid-19).

US President Donald Trump announced the activation of the Defense Production Act to counter the epidemic. The law allows General Motors to speed up the production of ventilators needed to save people living with the virus, and also gives the Minister of Homeland Security exceptional powers in the fight against the epidemic.

Trump said on Friday that the United States would produce 100,000 breathing apparatus within a hundred days, indicating that he had appointed White House adviser Peter Navarro as coordinator of the Defense Production Act.

"We will build a lot of ventilators," Trump said, vowing to meet the needs of the United States while providing aid to other countries.

The US president also signed emergency relief legislation, which includes the largest economic rescue package in US history.

Congress voted on the final version of the $ 2 trillion economic aid package that includes helping American families and companies affected by the consequences of the spread of the Corona virus that forced them to stop work and production, and Trump said that this package was the largest ever in the country's history.

The affected Italy is upset with the Europeans
Yesterday, Italy recorded 919 new deaths from the Corona virus, the highest daily number in the world since the start of the epidemic.

This brought the number of deaths in Italy to 9134 people, while the number of injuries reached 86,500 cases.

The northern province of Lombardy is the worst affected so far, but fears have grown from the deterioration of the situation in the poor regions of southern Italy, where local officials have criticized the central government and accused it of not providing the promised medical and respiratory equipment.

Italian Foreign Minister Luigi de Mayo criticized the level of European solidarity with Italy in the face of the Corona epidemic, and expressed doubts about the future of European unity.

De Mayo said that the Italian government has found itself facing two health and economic crises and that it has faced the first with unprecedented isolation measures and is looking to help Europe in the second.

De Mayo said that the world's solidarity with Italy is extremely important, but that Europe must bear its share of this solidarity.

De Mayo considered that Europe would not be able to help his country unless we accepted what he called the old mechanisms that countries had tried in the past and were not useful.

De Mayo concluded by saying that his government did not want to bring to Italy what he called the pains that treaties had brought to some of the peoples of Europe in the past.

Macron addresses the Italians
French President Emmanuel Macron on Saturday sought to woo the Italians by saying in an interview with Italian newspapers that France is there to provide assistance and that Italians should be careful not to talk about aid from China or Russia to combat the Corona virus.

Macron also called for stronger budgetary solidarity in Europe. "France stands by Italy," he said in an interview with the newspapers La Repubblica, Corriere della Sera and La Stampa.

He defended his country's position, saying, "There is a lot of talk about aid from China and Russia, but why don't we say that France and Germany have provided two million masks and tens of thousands of jackets to Italy?"

"This is not enough, but this is just the beginning, and we should not fail to hear what our international partners or our competitors say."

Italy, one of the countries hardest hit by the spread of the new coronary virus (Covid-19), has criticized France and Germany after initially ignoring the provision of masks and other equipment to help it cope with the outbreak.

Italy instead sought help from China, which sent a plane loaded with gags and respirators with labels bearing the words "Come on Italy" and the flags of China and Italy, which left a great impact in the hearts of Italians.

While Macron is trying to court the Italians, the Corona virus is sweeping his country, as the health system prepares to receive the shock of the epidemic, while the government decided on Friday to extend the house quarantine imposed on citizens for at least a month until April 15.

Prime Minister Edouard Philippe declared that "at the conclusion of the first ten days of isolation, it is clear that we are still at the beginning of the epidemiological wave," explaining that it "invaded the Far East a few days ago, as it reaches the Ile-de-France region (where Paris is) and the tops of France" in North.
