He further said that "We have tested around 65 million people and no country is even close to that number. India would be second at 11 million (tests) and they have 1.5 billion people... I feel strongly that we will have a vaccine by the end of the year."

Trump also said that "We are upset with China because of what they did. China was not good. Iran will make a deal with us in a month if we win the election and to be very honest, I don't know if we want to have a deal with China."
