综合报道,在新冠肺炎疫情席卷美国之际,美总统特朗普24日表示,希望美国经济能在4月12日复活节前“重启”。对此,包括美众议长佩洛西在内的人士表示强烈反对。据美国约翰斯•霍普金斯大学实时统计数据,截至北京时间25日5时40分,美国累计确诊病例达53268人,累计死亡703例。

据“中央社”报道,特朗普在接受采访时重申23日在防疫记者会上的立场。他说,美国民众充满朝气、活力与精力,不想被锁在房子、公寓或某些空间中。
据路透社报道,特朗普16日发布的15天缓和疫情扩散指南预计在31日到期。这位共和党总统正寻求在11月连任美国总统,因此不满防疫措施对经济产生的负面影响。
一向视经济表现为任内最重要政绩的特朗普,希望能在复活节前重新启动美国经济。他表示,美国不能持续关闭。若是企业持续关闭,民众将失业,这将会摧毁这个国家,他说“不希望解决方案比问题本身更糟糕”。
对于公卫专家担忧贸然启动经济动能可能造成疫情快速蔓延,特朗普坚称,即使重返岗位,仍能有效控制病毒传播,民众会继续保持良好的卫生习惯并维持社交距离。
由于外界预测美国的新冠肺炎疫情可能持续数月之久,特朗普渴望立即使经济恢复正常的愿望遭到了两党人士的批评。美国国会众议院议长南希·佩洛西表示强烈反对特朗普提出的尽快“开放”美国,恢复商业活动的建议。佩洛西称新冠肺炎疫情过后,经济自然会复苏。
马里兰州州长、共和党人霍根也表示,不可能在短期内结束疫情。

Trump reiterated his position on the 23rd anti epidemic press conference in an interview, the Central News Agency reported. He said the American people are full of vigor, vitality and energy and do not want to be locked in houses, apartments or certain spaces.
Trump's 15 day guidelines for easing the spread of the epidemic, released on the 16th, are expected to expire on the 31st, Reuters reported. The Republican president is seeking re-election to the US presidency in November, so he is dissatisfied with the negative impact of anti epidemic measures on the economy.
Trump, who has always regarded the economy as his most important achievement, hopes to restart the U.S. economy before Easter. He said the United States could not keep shutting down. If businesses continue to shut down, people will lose their jobs, which will destroy the country, he said, "we don't want solutions to be worse than the problem itself.".
In response to public health experts' concerns that the rapid spread of the epidemic may be caused by the sudden start of economic momentum, trump insisted that even if he returned to work, he could effectively control the spread of the virus, and the public would continue to maintain good health habits and social distance.
The novel coronavirus pneumonia outbreak may be expected for months, as Trump predicted, and the desire to restore the economy to normal is being criticized by both parties. Nancy Pelosi, speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, expressed strong opposition to trump's proposal to "open" the United States and resume business activities as soon as possible. After novel coronavirus pneumonia, Pelosi said, the economy will recover naturally.
Hogan, Maryland's governor and Republican, also said it was impossible to end the outbreak in the short term.
