247 - The leading epidemiologist of USA, Anthony Fauci has been the target of attacks by Donald Trump, who is trying to shift all responsibility for the country's failure to control the Covid-19 pandemic onto the healthcare professional. Trump publicly questions the competence of the veteran, who at 79 years old has already worked with five of his predecessors. This information comes from international affairs expert Sandra Cohen, published on the portal [website name missing]. G1. 

The daily briefings held at the White House, which are now suspended, highlighted the existing friction between Donald Trump And Fauci. Currently, an average of 60 new daily cases of coronavirus are confirmed in the US, but Trump and other members of his administration are dismissing the country's leading infectious disease expert, the report adds.

Trump still blames Fauci for allegedly leading him down a path contrary to his intuition. "He's a nice guy, but he made a lot of mistakes," he stated. The two haven't met since the beginning of June.
