I know of no president who has led during the type of pandemic that we had who was hugely challenged as our people were dying, as unemployment was rising, the economy was going down, the unrest that had an impact on our economy and the type of floods that we had. So all these challenges have come one after the other and they have been addressed,” said the president.
