Trump Says Ivanka and Kushner Are Not on Economic Coronavirus Task Force

JAVANKA

Fox News reported earlier on Monday that the senior White House advisers would be members of the economic task force that would focus on the reopening of the American economy.

President Donald Trump said on Monday night that his daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner will not be members of his new economic task force, contradicting an earlier Fox News report that said they would be included. Trump is reportedly set to unveil the economic task force that will focus on the reopening of the American economy amid the coronavirus pandemic on Tuesday. Fox News reported earlier on Monday that the council to reopen the country will also include new White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, Trump economic adviser Larry Kudlow, Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin and a number of other Cabinet heads. Trump, who has suggested that he would like to open at least parts of the country back up by May 1, rejected constitutional arguments on Monday that governors have the final say over their states’ social-distancing guidelines.
