Trump honors fallen soldiers as nation battles against virus

Eager to demonstrate national revival from the pandemic, President Trump doubled up on his public schedule on Monday, while threatening to pull the Republican National Convention out of Charlotte in August unless North Carolina's Democratic governor gives a quick green light to the party's plans to assemble en masse. Trump first honoured the nation’s fallen at Arlington National Cemetery. Presidents on Memorial Day typically lay a wreath and speak at the hallowed burial ground in Virginia. Trump then travelled to Baltimore's historic Fort McHenry.
