This year the United States is celebrating its independence - corresponding to 4 July - in a gloomy atmosphere with a record rise in the number of new Coronavirus infections, widespread anti-racist demonstrations, and an angry speech by US President Donald Trump.

Celebrations are held on July 4 of each year because the Congress formally adopted the Declaration of Independence from the British Empire on that day in 1776.

The independence anniversary coincided with the weekend of confusion among the state governments on how to face an expected increase in the number of coronavirus infection, due to the family and social gatherings accompanying the celebrations, which are doubled by the weekend.
Trump - whose opinion polls show is in a difficult position and lags behind Democratic candidate Joe Biden in many degrees - is trying to improve his position 120 days before the presidential elections on November 3.
And despite the unprecedented rates of coronavirus infection in western and southern states in particular, and the loss of 45 million Americans their jobs, Trump does not stop repeating the saying that "the Corona crisis is being controlled", and that "the American economy is recovering stronger and faster than it was Expected.
