New York reopening on Monday
Mayor Bill de Blasio on Friday said New York is on track to reopen on Monday from the coronavirus lockdown that turned the most populous US city into a virtual ghost town, restarting work at 32,000 shuttered construction sites.
Both the mayor and New York Governor Andrew Cuomo dug in after critics urged an end to an 20:00-to-05:00 curfew set to last until Monday morning following looting and other violence amid city protests sparked by George Floyd's death in Minneapolis police custody.
Los Angeles is among several U.S. cities that lifted curfews after critics said they unnecessarily restricted the right to protest.
"5 a.m. Monday the curfew ends and does not come back," de Blasio told a news conference.
Buffet's made a mistake, says Trump
US President Donald Trump has said that Warren Buffett, often regarded as the world's greatest investor, made a mistake by recently exiting a multi-billion dollar investment in the airline industry as the coronavirus crisis hit hard.
Trump made his assessment at the White House, shortly after the US Labor Department reported an unexpected surge in May jobs, and five weeks after Buffett said his Berkshire Hathaway Inc sold its airline stakes.
'Warren Buffett sold airlines a little while ago,' Trump said. 'He's been right his whole life, but sometimes even somebody like Warren Buffett -- I have a lot of respect for him -- they make mistakes. They should have kept the airline stocks because the airline stocks went through the roof today.'

'It's not over': COVID-19 cases rise in some nations easing lockdowns - WHO
Some countries have seen "upticks" in COVID-19 cases as lockdowns ease, and populations must protect themselves from the coronavirus while authorities continue testing, the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Friday.
The epicentre of the pandemic is currently in countries of Central, South and North America, particularly the United States, WHO spokeswoman Margaret Harris said.
"On upticks (in cases), yes we have seen in countries around the world - I'm not talking specifically about Europe - when the lockdowns ease, when the social distancing measures ease, people sometimes interpret this as 'OK, it's over'," Harris told a U.N.briefing in Geneva.
"It's not over. It's not over until there is no virus anywhere in the world," she said.
Wall Street jumps after surprise job additions in May
U.S. stock indexes jumped on Friday, with the Nasdaq Composite less than 1% away from a record high, after a closely watched report showed surprise job additions in May, lending weight to hopes of a faster economic rebound from a coronavirus-led slump.
Data from the Labor Department showed nonfarm payrolls rose by 2.509 million jobs last month after a record plunge of 20.687 million in April, and the unemployment rate unexpectedly fell to 13.3% in May from 14.7% in April.
"It's shocking, it's a refreshing thing to experience, a very positive and a far better-than-expected report," said Randy Frederick, vice president of trading and derivatives for Charles Schwab in Austin, Texas.

This theme keeps emerging over what coronavirus has forced us to change. From remote working to the effects daily life has on the atmosphere, things changed drastically for a couple of months. It's too soon to know if we have made lasting change though.
Coronavirus cases in the United States have been slowly ticking up since the Memorial Day holiday, according to a CNBC analysis of data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.
Deaths back up over 1,000 for the last few days in America. The George Floyd protests have taken center stage but the coronavirus still continues to wreak havoc in the United States.
Advancements continue to be made in an effort to understand the coronavirus. These breakthroughs could lead to the discovery of a vaccine.
Covid-19 cases may rise as protests in US continue
While the US is still seeing some 20,000 daily new Covid-19 cases, countrywide protests following George Floyd's death may result in a further rise in cases.
Vaccines work
This is always an important message, but the WHO is likely gearing up for a fight with the anti-vaxxers who are already trying to spread a false message that any coronavirus vaccine won't be safe.
