Leo Shane III
President Donald Trump announced Thursday he will extend National Guard orders authorizing domestic coronavirus response missions through mid-August, after controversy surrounding the problematic end date next month for their work.
In a twitter post Thursday afternoon, Trump praised the Guardsmen for “doing a great job fighting the coronavirus†and said their orders would be extended an additional two months “so they can continue to help states succeed in their response and recovery efforts.â€
The men and women of the National Guard have been doing a great job fighting the CoronaVirus. This week, I will extend their Title 32 orders through mid-August, so they can continue to help States succeed in their response and recovery efforts.
