     Q    Mr. President, will you continue keeping tariffs off of Brazil on steel and aluminum?

     PRESIDENT TRUMP:  We have a very good relationship as to tariffs.  And we helped Brazil and we want to always help Brazil.  And the friendship is probably stronger now than it's ever been.

     Q    So no new tariffs?

     PRESIDENT TRUMP:  I don't want to make any promises.  No promises.

     Q    Sir, for the (inaudible) coronavirus impact, are you going to continue hold rallies and are you taking any precautions with the White House staff?

     PRESIDENT TRUMP:  Well, we’ll have tremendous rallies.  And we're doing very well.  And we've done a fantastic job with respect to that subject on the virus.  Yeah.

     Q    How concerned are you that coronavirus --

     PRESIDENT TRUMP:  (Inaudible.)  We've had tremendous cooperation with other countries and all over the world.  And we've made it very, very tough.  Very strong.  Very stringent borders.

     Q    But are you concerned that it is getting closer to the White House in D.C.?

     PRESIDENT TRUMP:  Say it.  What?

     Q    On free trade --

     Q    Are you concerned that the virus is getting closer to the White House and D.C.?

     PRESIDENT TRUMP:  No, I'm not concerned at all.  No, I'm not.  No, we've done a great job.
