"We have tested more than all countries put together… the testing has been incredible now, and to a level that nobody's seen."
President Trump says the US has carried out more tests than every other country in the world combined.
The latest data shows that a total of 6,026,170 tests have been carried out in the US.
This is more than any other single country.

The US also still lags behind several other nations in terms of testing per capita.
