Beth Cameron also wrote that the Trump administration's response to the spread of the new coronavirus had been 'slow and inadequate.'
A former senior director of the National Security Council's dissolved pandemic unit said its closure left the United States"less prepared" for the COVID-19 outbreak.that the Trump administration's response to the novel coronavirus had been"slow and inadequate," and suggested that the closure of the Directorate for Global Health Security and Biodefense had contributed to its"sluggish" response.
Writing about the closure of the NSC's pandemic office, Cameron said,"I was mystified when the White House dissolved the office, leaving the country less prepared for pandemics like COVID-19. After going over the past work of the global health security directorate, Cameron said:"It's unclear whether the decision to disband the directorate, which was made in May 2018, after John Bolton became national security adviser, was a tactical move to downgrade the issue or whether it was part of the White House's interest in simplifying and shrinking the National Security Council staff.
