		</div><p>US President Donald Trump has defended his administration’s response to the coronavirus and his confrontational style of name-calling political opponents during a televised question and answer session.</p>
<p>Mr Trump, who regularly calls his top Democratic presidential opponents “Sleepy Joe” and “Crazy Bernie” was asked whether he could deliver his message without the controversial rhetoric.</p>
<p>He told the event in Scranton, Pennsylvania and broadcast on Fox News: “You can’t turn your cheek.</p>

<p>“When they hit us, we have to hit back. I really feel that.”</p>
<p>The first question, from an undecided voter, was about the administration’s response to the virus.</p>

<p>The number of the cases in the US stood at about 200 on Thursday, including 12 deaths – 11 in Washington state and one in California.</p>
<p>He said: “Everybody has to be calm. It’s all going to work out.</p>
<p>“We hope it doesn’t last too long.”</p>

<p>It was Mr Trump’s first 2020 visit to Pennsylvania, a battleground state he won by about 44,000 votes in 2016.</p>
<p>The state is home turf to former Vice President Joe Biden, who spent his first 10 years in Scranton before his family moved to Wilmington, Delaware.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, during a lightning round, Mr Trump, a self-proclaimed germaphobe, said he has gotten over his aversion to hand-shaking, even during the age of the coronavirus.</p>
<p>“You can’t be a politician and not shake hands,” the president said.</p>
<p>“The bottom line is I shake anybody’s hand now. I’m proud of it.</p>
