AJC: Trump visit to CDC is no longer on his travel schedule
President Donald Trump’s planned trip to Atlanta on Friday to visit the headquarters of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been postponed.
Instead of heading to the CDC to discuss coronavirus, Trump will head straight to a fundraiser in Palm Beach.
WH official explains Trump decision to bypass @CDCgov today, saying he "does not want to interfere with the CDC’s mission to protect the health and welfare of their people and the agency." The same could have been said of @NIH, which Trump visited on Tuesday.
