President Donald Trump is warning that the U.S. is facing the ``toughest'' weeks ahead as the rise in coronavirus cases accelerates.

He says,``There will be a lot of death.''

But after the sombre start to his daily briefing on Saturday, he has come back again and again to his desire to get the country open for business.

He said, ``We have to open our country again.

We don't want to be doing this for months and months and months.

This country wasn't meant for this.''

Trump, who met earlier Saturday with the heads of major sports leagues, said he wants to get the fans back in arenas as soon as possible.

He also talked about wanting people to be able to go to restaurants again.
