President Donald Trump plans to declare a national emergency Friday to allow more direct relief to Americans affected by the coronavirus, two administration officials told NBC News.
The move could help open up tens of billions of dollars to help fight the rapidly spreading pandemic.
Trump announced earlier in the day that he will hold a press conference Friday afternoon about the response to the coronavirus pandemic.
We will have live coverage of the President's address when it begins on WOOD Radio.
