Now It’s the same day Trump and Trump Jr. have held a press conference to discuss their meeting with a Russian lawyer.
Trump Jr.’s statement is still not clear.
President Donald Trumps eldest son Donald Trump Jr., who met with a lawyer who promised dirt on Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, on Friday morning, said his father is ‘very healthy.’
The president’s eldest son told reporters that his father did not have symptoms of Ebola.
Now it’s the first time he has publicly discussed the Ebola situation, which has killed more than 3,000 people.
Trump and Trumps son have been holding a press event to discuss the meeting with the Russian lawyer and the president’s son said he is doing well.
‘I think he’s doing very well, very much,’ Trump Jr told reporters at the White House.
The president is expected to speak with reporters at 1 p.m.
ET.
Trump said his administration has no plans to shut down the government, but it will review the existing rules on travel and other aspects of federal law to ensure the country is not overrun by a virus.
‘If the president does decide to close down the country, I think he’ll have a very thorough review of the existing travel rules and regulations to make sure that we’re doing a good job of controlling the situation,’ Trump said.
The Trump family was reportedly briefed on the meeting between the lawyer and a Russian government official in New York, which they described as ‘very pleasant and cordial.’
Trump’s eldest daughter, Ivanka, is scheduled to meet with her father Friday morning in New Jersey.
The meeting comes a day after Trump Jr..
said his parents will discuss the possibility of the president closing down the U.T.S., the U, and the G.O.P. in the aftermath of the virus.
Trump has previously expressed skepticism about the ability of the government to keep the country from becoming overrun with a virus, saying in May that the virus ‘is going to be in the air for a little while’ until the government can find a way to stop it.
The U.N. has declared a state of emergency in the U: ‘The threat of a pandemic in the United States is real, and it’s going to take some time before the pandemic gets under control.’
‘The President has asked the Department of Homeland Security and other federal agencies to immediately implement a national strategy to control the spread of the pandemics, including through targeted travel restrictions and quarantine measures,’ Trump spokeswoman Lindsay Walters said in a statement Friday.
‘The U. S. Government has responded to this request, and so far, the Department has issued guidance on the issue of preventing the spread and quarantine of the Ebola virus.’
