(CNN) President Donald Trump said Saturday that there could be a shortage of ventilators available to Americans as the coronavirus pandemic spreads across the nation . I mean, it could be you have shortages, and it could also be that you have some that have way overestimated the number of ventilators they need," Trump said, referring to the number of ventilators states have to combat the virus. Trump said without citing examples that he believes some states have asked for more ventilators than they will actually need. "On ventilators, remember we ordered 17,000 ventilators. And when we ordered the ventilators, we were paying for the ventilators," he said.
