President Trump has told people around him that he's under pressure to utilize the authorities given to him under the Defense Production Act
On Sunday, Trump's coronavirus task force had a briefing scheduled for 4:30 p.m. ET, but the President wanted it moved to"prime time," according to two people familiar with what happened. The White House pushed the briefing until 5:00 p.m., then 5:30 p.m. and the President finally entered the room nearly an hour and a half after it was initially scheduled to begin.
The divide over how to proceed was on full display when Peter Navarro, Trump's trade adviser who is not on the coronavirus task force, stepped up to the microphone Sunday. Navarro was one official who urged Trump to sign the Defense Production Act initially, but has argued doing that has given the administration leverage over private companies and the next step is not necessary yet.
