During a White House news conference, US President Trump, initially shut down the question by reporters, saying that "I don't have any of the symptoms. And we don't want people without symptoms to go and do the test," he told reporters.
Later, when he was asked again about his meeting with Brazilian President by media, Trump further stated that: "I didn't say I wasn't going to be tested" and that he "most likely" would be, "fairly soon" going for the test.
"Not for that reason but because I think I will do it anyway," Trump finally asserted.
