President Trump has singled out New Zealand as country which had coronavirus under control but has subsequently suffered a “big surge”.
The places they were using to hold up now they’re having a big surge … they were holding up names of countries and now they’re saying ‘whoops!,” he said at a campign rally in Mankato, Minnesota.
