New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Friday accused President Donald Trump of trying to use a potential coronavirus vaccine to intimidate him following Trump’s assertion that Cuomo would hold up vaccine distribution in the state for political reasons.
« As soon as April, the vaccine will be available to the entire general population with the exception of places like New York state, where, for political reasons, the governor decided to say… he wants to take his time on the vaccine, » Trump said in the White House Rose Garden, adding that « we won’t be delivering it to New York until we have authorization to do so, and that pains me to say that. » He continued, « Gov. Cuomo will have to let us know when he’s ready for it.
