"The President of the United States and the Governor of New York have started their own personal war as they both try to grapple with the state’s coronavirus outbreak, which is now the deadliest in the world.

The pair has been at loggerheads for weeks, but things took a turn for the worse this weekend, with President Donald Trump telling New York Governor Andrew Cuomo to “spend more time doing and less time complaining” in a pointed tweet in response to a televised briefing Cuomo had given.

Cuomo fired back at the President, saying he should “get up and go to work” rather than being at home “watching TV”.

The United States is now the worst affected country by the coronavirus, with more than 732,000 cases, and more than 38,000 deaths. The US has more than half a million more cases of coronavirus than other hard hit nations around the world like Spain and Italy, who have just over 191,000 and 175,000 cases respectively.

New York State is the country’s coronavirus epicentre, and has been badly affected, with more than 13,200 deaths.

During Governor Cuomo’s press conference on Friday, Mr Trump, watching on, sent a series of tweets directly to the Governor."
