President Trump says he plans to keep and possibly expand the White House coronavirus task force.
This is after Vice President Mike Pence, who leads the task force, said it would be phased out by the end of the month.
And after Trump said it would be replaced with one focused on the economy.
But yesterday, Trump reversed course and said the group that focuses on the Covid-19 pandemic will continue “indefinitely.”
He added that Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Deborah Birx will remain part of the group.
But he says the task force will keep meeting with new priorities including vaccine development and treatment and reopening the US economy.
