Hundreds of people shine light from their cell phones during a protest in Portland, Oregon, on Monday, July 20. For more than 50 nights now, people in Portland have been protesting against racial inequality and police brutality. The protests have been mostly peaceful, but there have been instances of violence, arson and vandalism. The Trump administration dispatched federal agents to the city as part of an effort to guard federal monuments. Protesters have clashed with these forces, resulting in injuries on both sides.

President Donald Trump holds a face mask as he speaks during a news conference at the White House on Tuesday, July 21. It was his first coronavirus briefing in nearly three months, and he warned that the pandemic is likely to worsen before improving. He continued offering belated encouragement to wear masks, at one point pulling out his navy blue face covering and claiming he had no problem strapping it on (though he did not during the briefing). „Whether you like the mask or not, they have an impact,“ he said, adding later: „I’m getting used to the mask.“
