[Reuters]President Donald Trump is hankering for a return of live sports action, but US league supremos are taking a cautious approach to competition amid the coronavirus pandemic. Sports in America, like the rest of the world, have been brought to a virtual standstill by COVID-19. The NBA and NHL are wrestling with how they might fashion credible ends to campaigns that were heading into their final stages. That could get live sports back on television, at least, although Trump indicated that he's keen for more. In the United States, however, the return of thousands of fans to sports venues could depend on the greenlight from state authorities.
