Trump Administration Changes The Policies of United States Biodefense

Posted on September 18, 2018September 18, 2018 by Jennifer McMurray

President Trump signed a new biodefense strategy, which repeals policies that were put in place in the George W. Bush and Barack Obama administrations, and assigned a cabinet-level committee to determine gaps in the nation’s biological defense, which will be put into place by Health and Human Services.

HHS Secretary Alex Azar will lead the Biodefense Steering Committee, which will enact policies coordinated and developed by the National Security Council. Previous administrations already assessed biological and chemical threats, but the process is now consolidated into the council and the majority of the authority in administering the policies will be imbued inHealth and Human Services.
