Summary
President Donald Trump on Wednesday evening said disruptions from the coronavirus could affect US gross domestic product, a departure from a string of rosier economic forecasts that had come from the White House in recent days."This would have an impact on GDP," Trump said at a news conference that marked a rare appearance in the White House briefing room. US stocks have suffered sharp losses in recent days, with investors assessing the effects of the outbreak on supply chains and other business operations.At the news conference, Trump said the sell-offs were at least partly driven by COVID-19 but also pointed to the possibility of concerns about the presidential election.
