Trump says he's 'in charge' of U.S. plans to speed development of a coronavirus vaccine

Trump says he's 'in charge' of U.S. plans to speed development of a coronavirus vaccine Speaking from the Oval Office on Thursday, U.S. President Donald Trump said the United States plans to accelerate the development of a coronavirus vaccine, in an effort that has been dubbed "Operation Warp Speed."

When asked who is in charge of "Operation Warp Speed," Trump said, "You know who's in charge of it? I am."

"I'm the one who gets blamed," he added.

During the meeting with New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy, Trump said the Obama administration “was a disaster and did a poor job on a lot of things” in his opinion, including the military. He added that the federal government did “a spectacular job” in his estimation in increasing the number of ventilators in the U.S. that they didn’t have because of the previous administration.

Government agencies and the military will team up with the private sector with the goal of having 100 million doses of the coronavirus vaccine ready by the end of 2020.
