Who procured US medical supplies for the coronavirus? At a press briefing on March 19, President Trump brushed aside demands that the federal government take the lead in buying medical equipment – including the coronavirus tests, ventilators and protective gear – critically needed to save lives in the current pandemic.  "We are not a shipping clerk" Trump said, and left it to the states to take first responsibility for procuring life-saving equipment. Did Trump's procurement stance cause problems? Yes The lack of any centralized coordination is creating a counterproductive competition between states and the federal government to secure limited supplies, driving up prices and exacerbating existing shortages. Did the US state governors have everything they needed from Federal Government to tackle the coronavirus? No "I can tell you that that's not the case here in my state of Maryland, and it's not what I'm hearing from all of the other governors." Larry Hogan
President Trump marshalled the full resources of our federal government to deal with the coronavirus from the outset. He directed the US to forge a seamless partnership with governors across America in both political parties.
Create evidence in form of questions and answers for the claim: "President Trump marshalled the full resources of our federal government to deal with the coronavirus from the outset. He directed the US to forge a seamless partnership with governors across America in both political parties.", which would make the veracity be refuted
