The Political Week in Photos

Coronavirus took hold outside of Asia this week, sparking fears across the globe and prompting U.S. President Donald Trump to hold a press conference aimed at reassuring the American public.

Democratic presidential contenders geared up for tomorrow’s vote in South Carolina ahead of the major contest — Super Tuesday — on March 3.

And Trump spent the first part of his week halfway around the globe in India, where he sought to build ties with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, whose controversial citizenship law has spurred violence in the capital.

These were among the topics of this week’s most compelling political images.
