Coronavirus will not harm global economy: Trump

President Donald Trump predicted the coronavirus is "going to go away" despite warnings from Democrats that his White House is asleep amid cresting fears in Washington that the outbreak could spark a pandemic.

The President maintained his sunny optimism about the virus that is showing signs of spreading around the world from its Chinese epicenter and is already having a huge impact on global commerce.

"I think that's a problem that's going to go away," Trump said on Tuesday during a trip to India, expressing confidence that the epidemic will not seriously harm the global economy.

The President ticked though administration efforts to contain the virus, claiming the US had "essentially closed the borders."

"We're watching very carefully," Trump said. "We're fortunate so far and we think it's going to remain that way."
