President Trump, as he is wont to do, blamed an Obama regulation for slowing down the ability to do COVID-19 testing, and that he canceled it. That was yet another lie - the regulation in question had nothing to do with this type of testing and never took effect, so there was nothing to cancel.
However, a regulation from Trump's FDA in February is actually slowing down testing:
