特朗普表示，聯(lián)邦應(yīng)急管理局正與私營公司主動合作，“加快從其他國家向美國運送重要物資”。
The Federal Emergency Management Agency is working with private companies on the initiative to "expedite the movement of critical supplies from other countries to the United States," the president said.
特朗普宣布，為運送防疫物資，聯(lián)邦應(yīng)急管理局已額外安排了19架航班，并希望有大約50架航班，以運送相關(guān)防疫物資。
FEMA has scheduled 19 additional flights, and hopes to have about 50, Trump said at the press conference.
此外，特朗普在當(dāng)天的發(fā)布會上描述了位于紐約皇后區(qū)的埃爾姆赫斯特醫(yī)院的“慘狀”。“運尸袋隨處可見。我一直看著他們把卡車運進來，那種冷藏式卡車。用冷藏卡車，是因為尸體太多了，他們處理不過來。這是在我的社區(qū)——紐約皇后區(qū)(見到的)。”
And he noted the grim scenes playing out at hard-hit Elmhurst Hospital in his native Queens.
"Body bags all over, in hallways. I've been watching them bring in trailer trucks — freezer trucks, they're freezer trucks, because they can't handle the bodies, there are so many of them. This is essentially in my community, in Queens, Queens, New York."

CNN報道稱，特朗普在發(fā)布會上強調(diào)了必須給醫(yī)院提供補給。
“我看到卡車停下來取出尸體時，這些卡車就和(白宮)玫瑰園一樣長。他們停下來，取出尸體，你看看里面，都是黑色的運尸袋……(這里是)埃爾赫斯特醫(yī)院，必須提供補給。這不是補給，這是在救人。我從沒見過這樣的景象。”
When I see the trucks pull up to take out bodies, and these are trucks that are as long as the Rose Garden. And they're pulling up to take out bodies and you look inside, and you see the black body bags… (It's) Elmhurst Hospital, must be supplies. It is not supplies, it is people. I have never seen anything like it."
