New Zealand PM says Trump's coronavirus "surge" remarks are "patently wrong"

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern hit back on Tuesday against U.S. President Donald Trump for saying her country is experiencing a "big surge" in COVID-19, calling the remarks "patently wrong."

Trump sparked uproar in New Zealand when he told a crowd in Minnesota that the South Pacific country of 5 million people was in the grip of a "terrible" upsurge in COVID-19 cases, having earlier succeeded in eliminating the disease.

“The problem is … big surge in New Zealand, you know it’s terrible. We don’t want that.” Trump said.

Ardern said there was no comparison between New Zealand's handful of new cases a day and the "tens of thousands" reported in the United States.
