President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he has a “very good relationship” with Dr. Anthony Fauci, as he denounced a scathing opinion piece written by White House trade adviser Peter Navarro on the U.S. infectious diseases expert.
The president made the remarks in response to an article written by Navarro for USA Today, which criticized the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) for his projections on the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus pandemic.
