RE Previous NextUS President Donald Trump has tested negative for the coronavirus, following concerns over his exposure to the disease. Trump agreed to the test after coming in contact with several members of a Brazilian presidential delegation visiting his Florida resort who have since tested positive for the virus. Trump's physician, Sean Conley, said: "I received confirmation that the test is negative." "If you don't have to travel, I wouldn't do it," Trump said at a White House news conference. Trump declared a national emergency on Friday, freeing up some US$40 billion (HK$312 billion) in disaster relief funds.
