More people may die if we dont coordinate. Reporter president elect joe biden predicted grave consequences if the Trump Administration keeps stonewalling his team on the coronavirus pandemic.

Once we shut down the virus and deliver Economic Relief to workers and businesses, then we can start to build back better than before. Reporter mr.

This is a critical moment with the vaccine accelerating sorry, with the coronavirus accelerating. We really need to get a handle on it. Not only that, anthony. She said to be honest, none of this was easy. Donald trump spread racist lies about her husband that put her family in danger. And she said that was something i was ready that i felt strongly about, but for the sake of the country, because she said i welcome Melania Trump when they came to the white house that day for the transition, for the sake of the country, she had to set her anger aside and find strength and maturity to, you know, to move on. I think that sends such a powerful message. They were there on Inauguration Day for donald trump. Hard to imagine they same happening at the current juncture. She feels her family was put in danger. She knows what shes talking about. President trump has just nine weeks left in his term. During that time, hes expected to sharply cut u. S. Troop strength in afghanistan and iraq. Weijia jiang is at the white house. What does that plan call for exactly . Well, good morning, anthony. This move does not meet the president s goal of bringing back all u. S. Troops in afghanistan by christmas, but it does put him closer to fulfilling a Campaign Promise of ending american involvement in conflicts abroad. Cbs news has learned that the pentagon expects the president to order a withdrawal of about 2,000 American Forces in afghanistan and 500 in iraq by midjanuary. That would leave about 2,500 u. S. Troops in each country. Acting defense secretary Christopher Miller said in a message to employees last night that he wants to bring the current war to an end in a responsible manner. The keyword there is responsible and the president is already getting pushback from his own party, including Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell who said a rapid withdrawal would hurt our allies and delight the people who wish us harm. Military officials worry leaving too few troops in afghanistan could lead to more violence in the region, but they say it is better than having no troops there at all. Tony . Weijia, thank you.
