WASHINGTON - US President Donald Trump clashed with Democrat Joe Biden over requirements to wear masks to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
In June, Mr Biden has said that as president he'd"insist" that every American wear a face covering and use his executive powers to enact a requirement. Mr Trump's views on executive power over the pandemic response have constantly shifted. The president claimed in April he had"total" authority over whether states re-open their economies, before walking it back and saying that was the governors' responsibility.
Some public health experts have said a national mask mandate would slow the spread of the virus while others have questioned whether a requirement would spark a backlash. The virus has killed more than 166,000 people in the US.
