WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump blamed his predecessor for a nationwide shortage of test kits for coronavirus and claimed to have ended regulations put in place by Barack Obama's administration that limited the development of the diagnostic tools.

The Trump administration has come under criticism for the test-kit shortage, which local public health officials have said hampers their ability to survey the US population for the virus. San Francisco's Mayor London Breed called the shortage of kits"a national disgrace" in a letter to Vice-President Mike Pence on Tuesday.

Asked to explain his remarks, Trump referred the question to Pence and Centres for Disease Control and Prevention Director Robert Redfield.
