Trump to meet with drugmakers as U.S. sees more coronavirus cases

WASHINGTON, March 2 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump and his White House coronavirus task force will meet with drug company executives on Monday as his administration sought to shore up its response to the outbreak that claimed the country's second death over the weekend.

The White House did not say which pharmaceutical makers would be at the Monday afternoon meeting but executives from Sanofi SA, Johnson & Johnson and Pfizer Inc will attend, according to representatives for the companies.

Trump, in an early morning tweet, said they would discuss "progress on a vaccine and cure." Top U.S. health officials have said any vaccine is at least a year from hitting the market, and there is no treatment, although patients can receive supportive care.

Trump gave no other details, and the White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
