Washington President Donald Trump's trade adviser Peter Navarro fired off an internal flare at the White House in late January, warning in a memo that the coronavirus could become a"full-blown pandemic," risking trillions of dollars in economic losses and the health of millions, a source familiar with the memo confirmed to CNN.
In the late January memo, Navarro pushed for a travel ban on China -- something he and other officials had begun lobbying for weeks earlier -- and"aggressive" containment efforts.Less than a month later, as Trump continued to downplay the threat, Navarro wrote a second memo and warned that the risk of a pandemic was rising and urged the White House's coronavirus task force to secure billions in supplemental spending, according to two sources familiar with the second memo.
Is a member of the media brave enough to print out this memo, bring it to the briefing, hold it up and ask the president, “did you read this?”
January last year would have been news . We all knew this January.
That is so true, but Trump chose to ignore it.
CNN reporting from the New York times. lol
The whitey bulger of the Trump administration
FAKE where’s Adam? CNN is shameless during APEX. Sensationalism during crisis is reprehensible.
Global numbers do not suggest pandemic level.
Yep and realDonaldTrump stopped travel from China in January and the do nothing Dems and propaganda MSM were impeaching the President, ty CNN for pointing this out.
Trump has blood on his tiny hands.

I wonder if some close to Navarro like Ron Vara can give us some more insight on Navarro's warnings?
Wait...WHAT? Wasn't this just the guy we were told NOT to believe about Medical Issues because he is NOT a Doctor?
