The US president hit out at New York governor asserting that Governor Cuomo should spentmore time “doing” and less time “complaining”.

"Get out there and get the job done. Stop talking! We built you thousands of hospital beds that you didn’t need or use, gave large numbers of ventilators that you should have had," the President lashed out at the New York governor.

"We have given New York far more money, help and equipment than any other state, by far, & these great men & women who did the job never hear you say thanks," Trump told the New York governor on Twitter, adding,"your numbers are not good. Less talk and more action!"
