President Donald Trump said he told Georgia Governor Brian Kemp that he disagreed strongly with his decision to begin allowing some nonessential businesses to soon reopen.
Speaking at a daily White House briefing on Wednesday evening, Trump said he told Kemp he had misgivings over the governor's plan, but would not stand in his way.
The people of Georgia ... have been strong, resolute, but at the same time he must do what he thinks is right, Trump said of Kemp, a Republican.
I want him to do what he thinks is right. But I disagree with him on what he's doing. ... But I think (opening) spas and beauty salons and tattoo parlors and barbershops in phase one ... it's just too soon."
