Meanwhile, Barack Obama has criticised America's response to coronavirus.
President Donald Trump says the US will reopen "vaccine or no vaccine", as he discussed a project he is referring to as Operation Warp Speed.
Speaking on Saturday, he said: "I just want to make something clear. It’s very important. "Vaccine or no vaccine, we’re back and we’re starting the process and, in many cases, they don’t have vaccines and a virus or a flu comes and you fight through it."Trump made this speech as he announced an objective to deliver a coronavirus vaccine by year end.

Meanwhile, Barack Obama has criticised America's response to the Covid-19 crisis, describing it as "an absolute chaotic disaster". He continued: "More than anything this pandemic has fully, finally torn back the curtain on the idea that so many of the folks in charge know what they're doing. A lot of them aren't even pretending to be in charge." The current US death toll is 86,000, with 1.4m confirmed cases, according to Johns Hopkins University.Explore more on these topics:
