President Donald Trump defended the slow pace of coronavirus testing in the U.S., saying in a Fox News “virtual town hall” on Tuesday that the government “did not screw up” and is now a “model.”

“We did not screw up and I don’t think CDC screwed up either,” Trump said, again blaming difficulties in fielding a U.S. coronavirus test on a “system” established by his predecessors.
