White House

Dr. Anthony Fauci and President Trump pushed back on the notion that Fauci was on the outs with the president.

The White House says the top immunologist isn't going anywhere, notwithstanding a retweet from President Trump's account that linked Dr. Anthony Fauci with criticism.

On March 13, President Trump promised to mobilize private and public resources to respond to the coronavirus. NPR followed up on each promise and found little action had been taken.

"We're going to make a decision, and hopefully, it's going to be the right decision," President Trump said at Friday's White House task force briefing.

President Trump says the government's procurement and distribution system is "a fine-tuned machine," but many hospitals and state governors say they're struggling to get what they need.

The president told reporters on Thursday that he had taken a second coronavirus test, which was negative.

America must brace for 100,000 or more people to die in the coming months in the coronavirus pandemic, the White House's response team warned.

President Trump says test data will establish risk categories for counties. States can then work out their own social distancing rules.

The White House team says it will make an assessment after next week as to how effective social distancing and other mitigation measures have been in stifling the spread of the virus.

President Trump has issued contradictory statements about whether he's ordering private companies to ramp up production of medical goods. At the center of all this is the Defense Production Act.
