Added: 2026-06-01

[00:00:00]The number one priority of our foreign policy is to protect the American people. We cannot and will not allow any cases of Ebola to enter the United States. And so we're very the State Department and other agencies represented here, the Centers for Disease Control, HHS, others are working very very hard to contain this crisis to the countries where it's currently located, particularly the Democratic Republic of the Congo. And uh so we've surged assistance to make sure that that that is being contained there. And obviously multiple agencies involved here are also very involved in tracking people just to make sure that nobody comes into this country that has Ebola and creates a problem for us. And we feel like uh we've got good efforts in place to do that and Americans should feel uh assured that the president and his administration is doing everything we can to protect them on that front.
