New Zealand’s Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says President Trump’s claim that New Zealand now has a „big surge“ in COVID-19 cases is „patently wrong,“ adding that the two countries‘ status in handling the pandemic is not comparable. „We are still one of the best-performing countries in the world when it comes to COVID,“ Ardern said on Tuesday. „Our workers are focused on keeping it that way.“ Trump’s remarks came on Monday – the same day New Zealand reported nine new cases, and the U. S. added nearly 42,000. But the U. S. president, speaking to supporters at an airport in Mankato, Minn., claimed New Zealand was an example of a country that had early success in fighting the outbreak, only to struggle now.
