One of President Donald Trump’s top economic advisers criticized the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s early response to the coronavirus spread Sunday, telling NBC’s “Meet the Press” the CDC “let the country down” initially with testing problems.
When asked whether Trump had faith in the CDC, White House trade adviser Peter Navarro, and coordinator of the Defense Production Act response, said that is a question for the president before criticizing the federal health agency’s initial response to the coronavirus pandemic.
