DEATH IN THE UNITED STATES. THE WASHINGTON STATE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH IS CONFIRMING THAT ONE PERSON HAS DIED FROM THE VIRUS. HERE'S PRESIDENT TRUMP IN THE SATURDAY BRIEFING. >> WE HAVE HAD NEGOTIATIONS AND WE THINK THEY'LL BE SUCCESSFUL IN THE END. THE OTHER SIDE IS TIRED OF WAR. EVERYBODY'S TIRED OF WAR, AND IT'S BEEN A PARTICULARLY LONG AND GRUESOME ONE, AND I CONGRATULATE THE PRESIDENT AND PEOPLE OF AFGHANISTAN. I WANT TO REMEMBER ALL OF THE PEOPLE, ALL OF THE GREAT, GREAT MEN AND WOMEN THAT HAVE LOST THEIR LIVES IN THE WAR. TO THEIR PARENTS AND WIVES AND HUSBANDS AND FAMILIES, BROTHERS AND SISTERS. THEY ARE GREAT, GREAT PEOPLE. MANY LIVES OVER SUCH A LONG PERIOD OF TIME HAVE BEEN LOST. I WANT TO THANK OUR WOUNDED WARRIORS PEOPLE THAT ARE STILL BEARING PAIN AND ALL OF THE PROBLEMS THAT THEY HAVE HAD TO GO THROUGH. THEY'RE INCREDIBLE PEOPLE, INCREDIBLE SPIRIT. I WOULD GO TO WALTER REID AND SEE THEM SO OFTEN, AND THE SPIRIT THEY HAD. THEY WANTED TO GO BACK. DESPITE THEIR WOUNDS, THEY ALWAYS SAID, I WANT TO GO BACK. WOUNDED WARRIORS, THEY'RE INCREDIBLE PEOPLE. I GUESS MOST OF ALL, I WANT TO THANK ALL OF THE PEOPLE IN THE UNITED STATES FOR HAVING SPENT SO MUCH IN TERMS OF BLOOD, IN TERMS OF TREASURE AND TREASURY, THE MONEY THAT HAS BEEN SPENT, THE LIVES THAT HAVE BEEN LOST, AND WE JUST SIGNED AN AGREEMENT THAT PUTS US IN A POSITION TO GET IT DONE AND BRING US DOWN TO IN THE VICINITY OF 8,000 TROOPS. THE UNITED NATIONS WAS INFORMED OF EVERYTHING, AND NATO HAS BEEN GREAT. THE SECRETARY HAS BEEN FANTASTIC, AND I WANT TO THANK THE UNITED NATIONS FOR THE HELP THEY GAVE, AND I ALSO WANT TO THANK AND CONGRATULATE SECRETARY STALTENBERG. 29 COUNTRIES INVOLVED AND ALL APPROVING, ALL VERY HAPPY WITH WHAT'S GOING ON. I WANT TO ALSO THANK AND CONGRATULATE SECRETARY OF STATE POMPEO AND SECRETARY OF DEFENSE MARK ESPER, AND I'LL BE MEETING PERSONALLY WITH TALIBAN LEADERS IN THE NOT TOO DISTANT FUTURE, AND WE'LL BE VERY MUCH HOPING THAT THEY WILL BE DOING WHAT THEY SAY THEY'RE GOING TO BE DOING. THEY WILL BE KILLING TERRORISTS. THEY WILL BE KILLING SOME VERY BAD PEOPLE. WE'LL KEEP THAT FIGHT GOING. WE HAVE HAD TREMENDOUS SUCCESS IN AFGHANISTAN AND THE KILLING OF TERRORISTS, BUT IT'S TIME AFTER ALL THESE YEARS TO GO AND TO BRING OUR PEOPLE BACK HOME. WE WANT TO BRING OUR PEOPLE BACK HOME, AND AGAIN IT'S BEEN -- IT'S BEEN A LONG JOURNEY IN AFGHANISTAN IN PARTICULAR. IT'S BEEN A VERY LONG JOURNEY. IT'S BEEN A -- IT'S BEEN A HARD JOURNEY FOR EVERYBODY. WE'RE VERY LARGELY, OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT GROUP AND THAT'S NOT WHAT OUR SOLDIERS ARE ALL ABOUT. THEY'RE FIGHTERS. THEY'RE THE GREATEST FIGHTERS IN THE WORLD. AS YOU KNOW, WE'VE DESTROYED IN SYRIA AND IRAQ, 100% OF THE ISIS CALIPHATE, 100%. WE HAVE THOUSANDS OF PRISONERS. WE HAVE KILLED ISIS FIGHTERS BY THE THOUSANDS, AND LIKEWISE IN AFGHANISTAN, BUT NOW IT'S TIME FOR SOMEBODY ELSE TO DO THAT WORK, AND THAT WILL BE THE TALIBAN, AND IT COULD BE SURROUNDING COUNTRIES. THERE ARE MANY COUNTRIES THAT SURROUND AFGHANISTAN THAT CAN HELP. WE'LL BE BRINGING IT DOWN TO 8,000 TO APPROXIMATELY 8,600 IN THAT VICINITY, AND WE'LL MAKE OUR FINAL DECISION AT SOME POINT IN THE FAIRLY NEAR FUTURE, BUT THIS WAS A VERY SPIRITED AGREEMENT. THERE WAS A LOT OF -- A LOT OF TALK. THERE WAS A LOT OF EVERYTHING. THEY HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET THIS FOR MANY YEARS, AND JUST -- IT'S TIME. SO I JUST WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY. I WANT TO CONGRATULATE EVERYBODY. I REALLY BELIEVE THE TALIBAN WANTS TO DO SOMETHING TO SHOW THAT WE'RE NOT ALL WASTING TIME. IF BAD THINGS HAPPEN, WE'LL GO BACK. LET THEIR PEOPLE KNOW WE'LL GO BACK. WE'LL GO BACK SO FAST, AND WE'LL GO BACK WITH A FORCE LIKE NOBODY'S EVER SEEN, AND I DON'T THINK THAT WILL BE NECESSARY. I HOPE IT'S NOT NECESSARY, AND SO I JUST WANTED TO BRING THAT UP BEFORE WE BEGIN ON A TOPIC THAT HAS BECOME VERY, VERY IMPORTANT TO EVERYBODY. FIRST OF ALL, THE AMOUNT OF WORK THAT THESE PROFESSIONALS BEHIND ME AND MANY OTHER PROFESSIONALS IN MANY ROOMS BEHIND US WHO ARE WATCHING RIGHT NOW OR HAVE THE ROOM HERE TO BRING THEM ALL IN, BUT THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING AROUND THE CLOCK SO HARD ON THE CORONAVIRUS, AND IT'S A TOUGH ONE, BUT A LOT OF PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE. I WANT TO PROVIDE AN UPDATE TO OUR PEOPLE. AND OUR CITIZENS, FRANKLY ON OUR ACTION TO ADDRESS THE CORONAVIRUS, AND THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN HURT BADLY BY IT. AT THIS MOMENT, WE HAVE 22 PATIENTS IN THE UNITED STATES CURRENTLY THAT HAVE CORONAVIRUS. UNFORTUNATELY ONE PERSON PASSED AWAY OVERNIGHT. SHE WAS A WONDERFUL WOMAN, A MEDICALLY HIGH-RISK PATIENT IN HER HIGH 50s. FOUR OTHERS ARE VERY ILL. THANKFULLY 15 ARE EITHER RECOVERED FULLY OR THEY'RE WELL ON THEIR WAY TO RECOVERY, AND IN ALL CASES, THEY HAVE BEEN LET GO AND THEY'RE HOME. ADDITIONAL CASES IN THE UNITED STATES ARE LIKELY, BUT HEALTHY INDIVIDUALS SHOULD BE ABLE TO FULLY RECOVER, AND I THINK THAT CAN BE A STATEMENT WE CAN MAKE WITH GREAT SURETY AFTER WE'VE GOTTEN THIS PROBLEM. THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO RECOVER SHOULD THEY CONTRACT THE VIRUS. SO HEALTHY PEOPLE, IF YOU ARE HEALTHY, YOU WILL GO THROUGH A PROCESS, AND YOU'LL BE FINE. SINCE THE EARLY STAGES OF THE FOREIGN OUTBREAK, MY ADMINISTRATION HAS TAKEN THE MOST AGGRESSIVE ACTION IN MODERN HISTORY TO CONFRONT THE SPREAD OF THIS DISEASE. WE MOVE VERY EARLY. IT WAS ONE OF THE DECISIONS WE MADE, THAT REALLY TURNED OUT TO BE A LIFESAVER IN A SENSE, A BIG LIFESAVER. ON JANUARY 31st, I IMPOSED TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS ON FOREIGN NATIONS WHO HAD -- AND ANYBODY THAT HAD BEEN TO CHINA OR PEOPLE COMING OUT OF CHINA, AND I WANT TO SAY THAT CHINA SEEMS TO BE MAKING TREMENDOUS PROGRESS. THEIR NUMBERS ARE WAY DOWN, AND IF YOU READ, TIM COOK OF APPLE SAID THEY'RE NOW IN FULL OPERATION AGAIN IN CHINA. THEIR NUMBERS ARE WAY DOWN. EXPERTS NOW AGREE THAT MOVING QUICKLY DESPITE THE OPPOSITION WAS A WISE ONE, AND GREATLY SLOWED THE SPREAD OF THE VIRUS TO THE UNITED STATES, AND IT REALLY GAVE US TIME TO DO SOME OF THE CRITICAL MOVES THAT WE HAVE DONE, AND IT ALLOWED THESE GREAT PROFESSIONALS TO GET TOGETHER AND FIGURE IT ALL OUT, AND WE THINK THEY'VE DONE THAT. WE HAVE TAKEN THE MOST AGGRESSIVE ACTIONS TO CONFRONT THE CORONAVIRUS, AND THEY ARE THE MOST AGGRESSIVE TAKEN BY ANY COUNTRY, AND WE'RE THE NUMBER ONE TRAVEL DESTINATION IN THE WORLD, AND WE HAVE LESS CASES THAN A CASE WITH LESS TRAVEL AND SMALLER POPULATION. ON MONDAY, I WILL BE MEETING WITH THE LARGEST PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES IN THE WORLD ACTUALLY. THEY WILL BE COMING TO THE WHITE HOUSE AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A VACCINE AND DEVELOPING VERY QUICKLY, AND THEY'VE ALREADY STARTED WORKING ON IT. DEVELOPING VERY RAPIDLY, A VACCINE FOR THE VIRUS, TO COMBAT THE VIRUS, AND WE'RE HAVING VERY GOOD INITIAL FEEDBACK, BUT THE -- THESE COMPANIES WILL BE COMING TO THE WHITE HOUSE ON MONDAY. TREMENDOUS AMOUNTS OF SUPPLIES ARE ALREADY ON HAND. WE HAVE 43 MILLION MASKS, WHICH IS FAR MORE THAN ANYONE COULD HAVE ASSUMED SO QUICKLY, AND A LOT MORE ARE COMING. TODAY THE WHITE HOUSE CORONAVIRUS TASK FORCE LED BY VICE PRESIDENT MIKE PENCE, THEY MET FOR 2 1/2 HOURS. I SPENT A LOT OF THAT TIME WITH THEM ALSO, AND WE CAME UP WITH SOME IDEAS, RECOMMENDATIONS AND FRANKLY SOME PRETTY STRICT THINGS WE'LL BE GOING BY, AND MIKE WILL BE DISCUSSING THAT. BUT WE ARE WORKING AROUND THE CLOCK, AND I WISH REALLY WE COULD REPORT EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED, AND HOW WELL WE'RE DOING UNDER QUITE ADVERSE CIRCUMSTANCES, BUT WE'RE DOING REALLY WELL, VERY, VERY PROFESSIONALLY HANDLED. OUR COUNTRY IS PREPARED FOR ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. WE HOPE IT'S NOT GOING TO BE A MAJOR CIRCUMSTANCE. IT WILL BE A SMALLER CIRCUMSTANCE, BUT WHATEVER THE CIRCUMSTANCE IS, WE'RE PREPARED, AND I WOULD LIKE TO JUST ASK AND CAUTION THAT THE MEDIA -- WE RESPECTFULLY ASK THE MEDIA, AND POLITICIANS AND EVERYBODY ELSE INVOLVED NOT TO INCITE A PANIC. THERE'S NO REASON TO PANIC AT ALL. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS BEING HANDLED PROFESSIONALLY. I ALSO WANT TO THANK BY THE WAY, GOVERNORS AND REPRESENTATIVES OF OUR VARIOUS STATES. IN SOME CASES, SOME MORE THAN OTHERS BECAUSE THEY HAVE REALLY BEEN WORKING VERY HARD IN AREAS WHERE WE'VE SEEN INDICATION OF THE VIRUS, BUT I WANT TO THANK THE GOVERNORS AND ALL OF THE REPRESENTATIVES FROM ALL OF OUR STATES. THE ROOMS THEY HAVE MADE AVAILABLE, THE SPEED WITH WHICH THEY HAVE WORKED HAS REALLY BEEN INCREDIBLE. SO AGAIN, THANK YOU TO EVERYBODY. I'M GOING TO ASK MIKE PENCE NOW TO DISCUSS A LITTLE BIT ABOUT TRAVEL, AND HAVE SOME RESTRICTIONS. >> THAT IS PRESIDENT TRUMP ANNOUNCING THE FIRST CORONAVIRUS-RELATED DEATH SAYING IT IS A HIGH RISK PERSON IN HER 50s. ALSO SAYING THAT THE ADMINISTRATION IS BRACING FOR THE LIKELIHOOD OF MORE CASES, BUB THAT HEALTHY PEOPLE SHOULD BE FINE. THE PRESIDENT ALSO SAYING HE WILL BE MEETING WITH PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES TO ADDRESS THIS CRISIS ON MONDAY. WE WILL HAVE MUCH MORE ON THIS DEVELOPING SITUATION ON "NBC
