The White House cancels a presidential visit to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, citing the interference a trip may cause as the coronavirus outbreak grows
"The President is no longer traveling to Atlanta today. The CDC has been proactive and prepared since the very beginning and the President does not want to interfere with the CDC's mission to protect the health and welfare of their people and the agency," a White House official said. The White House announced the CDC visit earlier this week in the wake of intense criticism over the agency's slow diagnostic testing rollout and for defects in some of their early test kits.
President Trump is expected to sign the legislation tomorrow as he visits the CDC in Atlanta," Pence said during a briefing with Washington Gov. Jay Inslee.A presidential visit carries with it a big footprint -- numerous Secret Service agents, staffers, and press were expected to attend alongside Trump -- and these sorts of visits require significant resources from local law enforcement that can distract from the work at hand.
