On Sunday, President Donald Trump spoke with Fox News correspondents Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum as part of a “virtual town hall” held at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.

The main focus of the event was the administration’s response to the coronavirus outbreak in the United States, as well as how the president plans to revive the economy amid the shutdowns.

Baier and MacCallum fielded questions written from people and in videos, with Trump later being joined by Vice President Mike Pence and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin.

Here are four important takeaways from the Trump town hall, including the possibility of more economic aid and how the president feels about when churches can reopen.
