President Donald Trump said his White House task force on the COVID-19 pandemic will resume giving daily news briefings following a weeks-long surge in cases.
The president told reporters in the Oval Office that he will deliver a briefing at 5 p.m. on July 21. The task force provided briefings during the onset of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus pandemic in March and April.
Over the past month, Vice President Mike Pence, the head of the task force, and other members have given several briefings, as cases have risen in some parts of the United States.
“What were going to do is Ill get involved and well start doing briefings,” Trump said, adding that the focus will be different. The briefings, he noted, will be focused on vaccines and therapies for the virus.
“Well start them again and I think its a great way to get information out to the public as to where we are with the vaccines, with the therapeutics, and generally speaking, where we are,” he told reporters in televised comments.
At the same time, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany will continue to provide reporters with updates at an earlier time on a daily basis, Trump said.
“Ill be discussing the, as I call it, the China virus, the China plague. Ill be discussing it and Ill also be discussing perhaps some other things,” he said, possibly referring to criticisms of the CCP for coverRead More From Source
