Reductions at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Security Council, two key groups needed to coordinate and respond, could make it more difficult for the federal government to combat the growing epidemic.In 2018, the CDC stopped funding epidemic prevention activities in 39 out of 49 countries, including China, after the Trump administration refused to reallocate money to a program that began as part of the government's response to the Ebola outbreak in 2014.
In many communities, officials on the ground combating coronavirus will be the same ones ensuring restaurants follow health regulations, that community pools are properly chlorinated, and who coordinate vaccination programs and work with schools, said Adriane Casalotti of the National Association of County and City Health Officials. Refocusing to respond to coronavirus, she said,"is above and beyond local resources.
Why should we fund other countries, surely encourage them to do so themselves, if they do not, restrictions on travel to US, but of course, CNN will ne first to tell racist. CNN..you struck out on this one...nothing g but support for POTUS
lol at all the fake accounts coming out to call the truth fake news
Guess realDonaldTrump didn’t know more about epidemics than anyone else.
China needs funding Lol
GreenEyezzzzz Please share this with everyone you can our government is not taking care of their people
The ignorance in these posts are astonishing. An Ounce of Prevention Folks! 🤡🤧😷🤢☠️
mrsrptrs Isn’t he great. Canceling disease prevention in the face of corona and canceling deregulation during the biggest stock market bubble (burst) in history. Great work Nero! Bread, games, deregulation and tax breaks is the new universal medicine. Not. realDonaldTrump 🤡
Cnn fake news
Fake news
Fake nghey
But CDC offered assistance to China back in the beginning of January, which was refused. So what makes you think this would help if China was going to refuse assistance anyway. Seems like it would be more efficient for the CDC to have response teams to go where an issue is.
Blaming Trump for this is the same as blaming Santa Claus. Nothing would’ve stopped this. China didn’t even report it until after it went global. It’s China’s poor health & regulatory standards that leads to these pandemics. Just like SARS in 2003. Blame China not our President.
Pure lie.. There’s money left over from the Ebola outbreak.. EXACTLY WHY CNN IS DANGEROUS TO AMERICANS
The root of the problem is evident. realDonaldTrump
PuffDomino realDonaldTrump SenToomey RepScottPerry
Fund China and let them build more Aircraft carriers?
It amazes me. A man sued for fraud, cheats on his wife & taxes, bankrupted businesses, lies about everything you ppl believe w/o question. But any news agency tht questions him u call fake. U do realize tht is a cult mentality? Trump is a conman & u will follow him to destruction
Oh the sky is falling oh the sky is falling. Shutup you Fake News organization. I stopped believing the 'expert' predictions when I saw a pattern of panic right before or in Election years🤷
Looks like realDonaldTrump caused the Coronavirus then...way to be winning...
Why in the actual fuck would we give China money? They are not a developing country by any means.
There is no virus There is no virus There is no virus You say it enough....you actually start....nope. There is still a pandemic.
So we were giving our tax dollars to the communist Chinese?
Fake news wo do not believe
Just gets worse. Trump's decisions to reverse everything Obama did, is coming back to bite us. Jealousy, narcissism, unfounded arrogance are not good presidential qualities. Being an asshole doesn't help.
Before I go on, I should probably state my personal opinion: I don’t like realDonaldTrump as a president candidate! Trump a “madman” who is “paranoid.” It doesn't take a psychiatrist to notice that Trump is mentally compromised! TrumpIsUnfit
Trump is a monster... why? because he is in charge of important things and he is the most ignorant men in history...
You are telling lies!
This has been going for a long time.
Holy shit are we just like the world’s piggy bank!?!?
Orange Man Bad Reeeeeeee!!!
fakenews AGAIN
The virus has been weaponized by China, don’t blame Trump for being fiscally responsible
LissaL213 Donald Trump has everything under control smh!⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬
No that is Not Accurate!
total propaganda and fake news.
CNN why don't you go away and not come back until you have some actual news to report.
😡
How can we blame this on Trump?
China should be able to look after her people. Look at the mammoth sums they pay footballers there, in a mediocre league. If possible, POTUS should stop every aid to Africa
Trump is calling the coronavirus a 'Hoax'.
Your clickbait VS the story doesn’t match!! Do better!!
Well CNN after two years are able to tells us if the programs were essential in all of the programs? Or is that beyond your capabilities?
Any chance to moan about Bigly Man.
Virus’ and flu jump species from birds or pigs to infect humans regularly out of China & we need to be on the front line. The costs of the preventative program will pale in comparison to the cost to contain & treat, prevent lost production/trade, the loss of life.
We showed look and see where that “money” went
CCP saying 'we are the biggest economy' 'don't meddle with China internal affairs' all the time yet CNN blames the US government for not funding CCP who has been known for stealing US tech for ?
Why are we funding China? They have the second largest GDP on the planet.
Good, I'm not paying for China's emergency response. That would be stupid I want to know what dumbass was funding the disease control in rich countries like China with our tax money.
Again, kill Obama’s policies at all costs. What goes around comes around.
It's ok, the world should no longer relying on USA.
Really. That never happened.
Why are we funding China and other countries to prevent epidemic?
Can we blame Trump for the coronavirus, absolutely! Cancer, sure, global warming, yes.... or the worldwide propaganda press could stop lying to people
Everything Trump does is bad for the American people!!
Trump is likely responsible for shutting down schools, libraries, volunteer fire departments, and disease prevention facilities in at least 39 countries. Also the leaders of these countries have suffered a decline in personal wealth while US taxpayers prosper.
There we go, solid partisan politics blast
Because it had BarackObama's name on it.
Wow
Small government sounds great until shit hit the fan.
Theses guys have the PanicButton too, this is their only way to earn living
China was asking not to intervene into their internal affairs though, you can’t get both side of a coin. Plus WHO said China is doing very well in dealing with the coronavirus so better save the tax at somewhere else.
Remind every voter the TrumpRepublicans have 👉 dissolved the pandemic task force 👉 removed the Health Security role from the NSC 👉 failed to renew funding for CDC fighting global pandemics.
And if this happens, then we 'THE PEOPLE' would have voted for our own DEMISE - how short-sighted! 😲Let's hope that Trump's WALL will keep us safe🤣.
tRump Administration = FAIL Apparently a 'wall' is much more important than citizens dying...MAGA?...smh
Not funding for the United States, but for other countries. Many of those countries are wealthy enough to fund their own research and they still do but nice try at misleading those that can't think for themselves.
jaketapper So would finding have stopped the virus?
GovHowardDean Bcuz Obama.
Im confused. Why can't these countries fund their own prevention programs?
FakeNews
Not true there is more funding in cdc not cut backs
Interesting. So what does the World Health Organization do? So now Trump is responsible for a virus that started in China. You guys are disgusting.
lol
i know it .. it was coming ...CNN blaming Trump for current virus epidemic ... lol ..fn idiots
GloriaBorger Gloria , the CDC has a branch in China. If China was honest and alerted them maybe this would be different The CDC has been fully funded Biden lied !
I am doing shit. I can probably blame CNN for paying me shit. Well done.
They will never admit their mistakes
EnemyOfThePeople cnnisfakenews cnnistrash so we are supposed to now be a the medics for the world?
realDonaldTrump is at fault in allowing this epidemic to become a world-wide crisis. Knee jerk and short sided decisions to put more money in the pockets of the rich is more important than situations like this, climate change, gun control etc. etc. etc. ThisWeekABC
All because Obama set it up.
Trump hasn’t succeeded in cutting the budget. He’s proposed cuts Congress ignored him and increased financing instead. The National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention aren’t suffering from budget cuts that never took effect. AP Fact Check
Trump's reckless approach to government is starting to catch up with him. We will all be suffering for years as the results of his othestructive policies will start to reveal themselves.
Don't need a U.S. program to tell Chinese to quit eating exotic wildlife.
We borrow money from China. China has been stealing intellectual property - including medical - for years. They have plenty of $ for biological research which they have been conducting for years.
It was an Obama plan. That is a red flag for Donald.
Is this the one about the grants for State and Local coordination during health emergencies which the Congress legislated away, before Trump even came into office. To say he didn't 'RE-allocate' the money means it was not currently allocated. Correct?
Lol so Trump started the Corona Virus? We were waiting for the FakeNewsMedia to say that 😂
China wouldn’t even let the CDC help them. How would given them money stopped this from happening?
Trump screwed up, again, by taking money away from the CDC. He is totally and completely incompetent.
This is the Trump way. If it’s not billions for the advancement of Trump or Trump children or paying a bribe or hiring kids of corrupt AG or payments to hookers this Administration has a problem with it. Safeguarding Citizens Health is not a problem. Use it to pay 2M for Golf
Winning. Not.
This has nothing to do with this virus ...
Another smooth move by exlax trump
Coool
jaketapper
FAKENEWSCNN
jaketapper All the Republicans was totally with Trump get rid of all the experience people! This so scary because he’s not honest!
U promote lies and try to cause panic in our country. U should b ashamed
Why would the US be funding for China? China LOANS us trillions of $$
Well ain’t that so🙄 how convenient for cnn to remember when everyone else memories were erased by the other news 🤷🏾♀️

In 2020, Trump put someone who doesn’t believe in Science in charge of Science things..
😂🤣😆😂 Now the pandemic will spread across the USA killing thousands because of the 'Why should we pay for their prevention measures?' brigade. May hell mend your ways, numpties.
Why are we the taxpayers that have to fund the WHOLE world? They have money, they have better scientists; the CDC is for the US. And no hate answers please just because I don’t want to fund the world. If you do, please donate your own money; not mine.
The title alone sounds like bullshit. Epidemic activities
I really do not think the outbreaking coronavirus should blame to Donald Trump.
Lies
They_Move FYI We have to pay for The PRC now ? And why did Trump end it oh Clinton News Network?
jaketapper Continuing to spread false information. AP has already debunked this.
You are Lying!!!! That did not happen!!
Only stupid people are surprised by this.
It's not looking good for Trump...
Stop it CNN. Just stop it!! Your turning this into a political agenda. Our country is hopeful and will prevail
The headline is fakenews. There were no cuts made!! This is how the democrat’s lap dogs cnn feed the Trump hating loons. Read the article.
Good move on his part.
LIE. It wasn’t slashed. It’s funding increased and was moved to more pressing matters. Besides, it’s Congress that sets this, NOT POTUS.
SenToomey wow brilliant plan by the R's. Prob costs less then a few prez golfing trips. You realize all this is at your feet
When the MSM PROPAGANDISTS are weeded out I hope CNN is the first to go :)
False narrative: Read your own article!!! 'If these cuts had gone into effect that would have had incredible impact on the Corps' ability to deal with the coronavirus,' said Jim Currie,
Yeah more of our money for him to go golf and have his kids driving around to go hunting and shopping!! Only way out of this is VoteBlueNoMatterWho
China dont need our money. Infact wtf are we borrowing money from china to send back to china to do what they should already be doing?
Why building the US-Mexico wall? We're warned. The only way to drag down CCP is to release the viruses, etc to destroy its domestic and export markets. Timeline: Swine flu 2018.08 Coronavirus 2019.12 Desert locusts 2020.01 Bird flu 2020.02 TradeWar+
Great idea....
We give China enough money already. Just look at the tags on most of the products we buy. They can fund their own epidemic prevention.
GovHowardDean Everything in the world is Trump's fault according to CNN, totally fake news.
CNN trying to pin the coronavirus on Trump. Hilarious
Instead, let’s build that wall, that’ll stop the Coronavirus, fo sho
GovHowardDean cnn is a gossp rag
More garbage news from CNN.
TomHagins Maybe Trump is hoping the virus will knock off some illegal immigrants so Ice won't have to work hard! Trump doesn't give a rat's ass for many people in the USA!
This is so fake news. Some CDC cuts were proposed but were never implemented.
When everything fails to take down Trump, now you fake news use the virus for political use? Wow, new low. You won’t win in the end, Trump will always prevail! Loser network 🤦♂️
RepJohnKatko - you OWN this. You refused to do YOUR job of oversight
Can the United National or some respectable world organisation shut down CNN?😂😂😂
Ooof
CNN is the darkness that democracy dies in.
Seems rather xenophobic of you to assume that foreigners can't handle outbreak protocol. Also - report the numbers for the 'worldwide' wuhan virus vs USA regular flu stats. Oh, but that wouldn't fit the fearporn narrative......
😂😂😂 Corrupt Dems slush funds run dry. Trump said as much money that needs to go will, but you can damn well bet it will be monitored. No more stealing our hard earn money. So you can’t pay your activist, terrorist, gun runners, drug dealers, human traffickers, judges... etc
Trump was the only president who confronted the two evils facing humanity, China and Islamic Republic of Iran.. so shut up CNN.
Now residents in those 39 countries are speaking the word 'short-sighted' in many different languages. coronavirus
Fake news! Already proven false
So are you going to fire angela_rye for her racist comments? Or do you support them? Imagine the backlash if a bigot went on TV and said white people need to vote for Trump because voting should be a race based issue. But you coddle hardcore racist Angela
Way to go Trump administration. So much winning. How do you do it?
Trump will still blame everything on Obama! Ha!
Wonder what would happen if any of them contracted the virus, just like Iraq officials did?
China don’t need our funding CNN...
Getting rid of deep-state Democrat administrators didn't hurt government responses to actual medical emergencies. It just reduced waste of taxpayer money on Democrat hacks.
Yea right, its the POTUS fault now?! Its China's fault for eating weird 'exotic' foods or messing at the LAB, take your pick. 👀🤔
This inept President has no idea what he's doing and people will die on his watch!
CNNisTrash
And on que CNN is turning the Corona Virus political.
Anderson was just talking the heroes of 9/11.The air quality in which all the workers had to work in.I remember that day. Senator Hillary Clinton visited ground zero.She immediately complained about the air quality for the workers and demanded proper masks for them. She's a hero
Hope what i had this morning was not truth. That they find first victim with Coronavirus in Nigeria
You mean my tax dollars were paying for other countries disease control?
SI PUò SBAGLIARE. L'IMPORTANTE CAPIRE GLI ERRORI
So what CNN is trying to say, other countries are or don’t care about their population. It’s not AMERICAS job to support other countries health issues when thousands here are suffering
China should fund their own epidemic control activities.
Way to go donny!! Always making the right choices!!
We are not responsible for other countries health, we are fixing our own
There is a very capable agency for addressing pandemics. We do not expect accurate reporting from you.
Obama started so he stopped it a petty bigot going cause Americans lives!
Wait at one time WE WERE FUNDING PREVENTION IN CHINA!
Does it really matter, aren’t we going to die from WW3 that Trump started? Won’t the world end in 12 years because Trump withdrew from the Paris Accords? I guess we should all be thankful to survive tax reform and net neutrality.
People like Dave is what’s wrong with this country. You have Americans around the world for stuff like this to make sure American interests are safe. The key is to spend a little money to save bigger losses down the line. People in this country have gotten dumb
ok?
Call me crazy, I’m gonna say something insane. I believe China should take care of China. Report me, go ahead.
Instead of CNN to push a narrative to encourage other countries to protect their citizens, they blame Trump This has to be a curse, who cursed CNN? Don't worry, we will all come down to America to vote trump as illegal immigrants I'm sure TheDemocrats will like
China is the biggest industrial nation in the world that can fund their own CDC!
The mental gymnastics CNN goes through to blame everything on Trump is insane! If they used half that energy to actually investigate and report they might find how China was irresponsible and negligent in their own response that led to everyone else in the world reacting late
Factually incorrect but hey it's CNN
This guy was dropped on his head, one can not be born this stupid!
Trump, Make America Great Again. Let's vote him.👌👌👌
CNN, your the out in left field arm of democratic party politics, it's hilarious. You and your so called pundits, are truly a laughing stock of all media outlets. Question.. who funds your network? Is it someone whose last name is SOROS, or mabey BLOOMBERG. U GUYS SUCK!! Fox News
Cnn is pathetic.
TrumpAdministration acting on CoronavirusOutbreak
CNN, are you ever NOT on the hunt for Trumpian tear downs?
If there’s anything you can do to just for once be supportive to America and stop the attacks please don’t use a virus to try to attack it’s just nuts. BTW the common flu is much more of a threat right now. Never let a good crisis go to waste ,and if there is not one invent one
Why would we be giving money to these other countries?
For realDonaldTrump its all about the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$... He doesn't give a damn about the rest of civilisation.
Oh yeah, trump started the carona rampage.
Huh its like cutting funding to crucial agencies to fund tax cuts for the wealthy and to build a wall is a very bad idea. Who would have thought?
I also read somewhere that they refused to provide CDC employees tasked with testing and treating coronavirus patients the proper equipment, like ventilators.
Could. Solid news word.
...and again, when someone tells you how they are, believe them the first time....
What we need is Jared Kushner on this asap... TrumpIsAnIdiot
More unintended costs of austerity.
egray127
Here we go....
Don’t worry, money was allocated to prayers
