Washington. El presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, que está contagiado con coronavirus, dijo este jueves que no participará del debate presidencial de la semana próxima luego de que los organizadores decidieran hacerlo en formato virtual y sugirió una nueva fecha menos de una semana antes de las elecciones.

“No voy a hacer un debate virtual”, dijo a la cadena Fox Business en su primera entrevista desde que se contagió, en la que compareció de forma telefónica. “Es inaceptable para nosotros”, añadió el mandatario republicano que busca un segundo mandato pero está rezagado en las encuestas frente al candidato demócrata Joe Biden.
