The governor of new york has refuted president trumps claim that he alone has total 40 to reopen the u. S. Economy andrew cuomo accuse donald trump of spoiling for a fight but said he wouldnt engage with him in a competent White House Press briefing on monday trump told reporters only he could decide to lift restrictions governors had imposed a came several said violates the constitution 10000 of the more than 20000 coronavirus deaths in the u. S. Have been in new york the president will have no fight with me i will not engage it ive sat here every day for 44 years asking new yorkers to remember that this is not about me its about week i understand your personally can intervene i understand youre frustrated and stressed and anxious and youre feeling pain think about week think about get it get past yourself and think about society and think about your family think about interconnection and act responsibly for everyone else this is no time for politics and it is no time to fight the top Infectious Disease expert on the u. S. Coronavirus Task Force Says the country does not have the testing procedures needed to reopen its economy the thing we absolutely have to have in place we better have in place is the capability of very efficiently identifying isolating Contact Tracing getting people out of circulation if they get infected because once you start getting clusters then youre really in trouble so to me we have to have something in place that is officiant and that we have rely on and were not there yet well as close to our White House Correspondent can we help get to in washington can really take us through that the spat between cuomo and and trump where is that heading you think. Yeah well for his part andrew cuomo says he does not want a fight he does not want to engage but essentially weve had all morning here in washington into the afternoon of back and forth between these 2 currently andrew cuomo saying hes calling for a spirit of cooperation but the u. S. President was particularly irritated by comments made by andrew cuomo where he said that if the president ordered me to really open the country in a way that would endanger Public Health i wouldnt do it thats why donald trump took to twitter to say he seems to want independents talking about the new york state governor and that wont happen and that when andrew cuomo responded saying thats not an accurate statement in my opinion what are these 2 men fighting about theyre fighting about what the president simply fighting with all governors about and this is where the u. S. Constitution falls in terms of reopening the u. S. Economy the u. S. Constitution says that governors have the power over commerce the federal government has power over interstate commerce as well the u. S. President believes he has these almost like dictatorial type powers ultimate Authority Total authority is what hes described as because of the declaration of National Emergency i can tell you already there is an independent streak that is being exercised by governors were seeing them organized into different groups one of the left coast or rather the left. One on the west coast apologies and one on the right i really am messing up my geography today and this is why i am a journalist one of the east coast one of the west coast and essentially what theyre doing is saying look at were going to work on our own to reopen when we feel its necessary in our region because the bottom line is this country is not experiencing the penned all at the same time all the same way its happening in different parts of new york is obviously a hot spot down in the south a bit of a hot spot of course weve seen the flare ups on the west coast so as a result were seeing this independence even as the president says he has the total ultimate authority it could fall to the courts ultimately to decide how this is going to go and compete in the meantime found shes suggesting that he doesnt think that testing procedures are reduced enough yet to allow for lifting the restrictions. Yeah absolutely in fact what his concerns are and there are a number of them essentially is that you cant open the economy without sort of critical testing procedures in place there also isnt sort of this Contact Tracing and thats going to be necessary to reopen the country he said very clearly this is not going to happen with the flick of a light switch the u. S. President has suggested that thats how he wants it to happen profitably even on may 1st and the reason he wants that is because the his reelection chances hinge on all of this given the fact that there were historic games in terms of unemployment numbers in terms of the u. S. Economy it was a very bad divided country but even those that didnt like donald trump like that they had a job and a paycheck but millions of americans tens of millions of americans have lost their jobs the president doesnt have that now to boost his reelection chances thats why hes trying to get things back on track but again Public Health officials are cautioning him the u. S. President so far has been listening to their advice but as that election day inches closer in november will have to watch and see whether he continues to listen to that advice can really help to thank you very much indeed.
