White House trade adviser Peter Navarro warned the White House in January of a 'full-blown pandemic, imperiling the lives of millions of Americans' from the coronavirus, The New York Times reported Monday.

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.

Everybody wishes nobody will die, but millions? Last 5 days:: April 6 27415 cases 1176 deaths April 5 25316 cases 1165 deaths April 4 34196 cases 1330 deaths April 3 32284 cases 1045 deaths April 2 29874 cases 974 deaths

I wonder if some close to Navarro like Ron Vara can give us some more insight on Navarro's warnings?
