President Trump on Tuesday said he had not seen memos from one of his top trade advisers warning in January of the consequences of a potential pandemic, but denied he would have acted differently if he had.
The president was asked at a coronavirus press briefing about memos from Peter Navarro in which the trade adviser outlined the economic and public health problems that could arise if the virus spread from mainland China.
The memo was circulated in late January, the same time Trump was insisting the issue was "under control."
"I don't think it would've changed it, because I basically did what the memo said," Trump said, referring to his decision at the end of January to restrict travel from China.

Of course he wouldn't have.
