ALERT: Trump calls up ONE MILLION reservists

Trump greenlights call-up of 

one MILLION reservists to 

battle Covid-19

RT,

27 March, 2020

The number of mobilized reservists is “not to exceed 1,000,000 members on active duty at any one time.” The Pentagon and Homeland Security are 

supposed to ensure “appropriate consultation is undertaken with relevant state officials” about using National Guard reserves activated under this order.

The call-up is part of a flurry of presidential actions aimed against the Covid-19 outbreak on Friday, including the signing of a $2.2 trillion stimulus and relief bill – widely criticized on both sides of the aisle in Congress, but passed 

anyway – and invoking the Defense Production Act to compel automakers to produce ventilators needed to treat severe coronavirus cases.

Trump has been reluctant to invoke the authority under the DPA for over a 

week, saying the major corporations had offered to comply with federal supply requests voluntarily, only to blow up at General Motors and Ford in a series of angry tweets in the morning.

The US shot to first place in the world by the number of registered Covid-19 

cases, ahead of Italy and China – where the contagion originated in December– with over 100,000 people testing positive, and more than 1,500 fatalities.
