President Donald Trump said he’ll keep his coronavirus task force running indefinitely, backing away from a decision that was signaled by the White House a day earlier that he planned to disband the group of public health experts.
Trump, speaking Wednesday at a White House event hosting nurses, said he will add two or three members to the group who will be focused on reopening the nation for business.
