President Donald Trump on Wednesday started his latest briefing to the nation on the government response to the coronavirus crisis by saying, “I would like to begin by announcing some important developments in our war against the Chinese virus,” again casting the effort in military terms and referring to the disease with a term that has sparked backlash.
At one point, Trump called himself “in a sense, a wartime president.”
The president also announced that the Department of Housing and Urban Development is “providing immediate relief to renters and homeowners by suspending all foreclosures and evictions until the end of April.” However, HUD announced after the briefing that the suspension applies only to single family homeowners with a FHA-insured mortgage, not renters.
