Bill Signed
*The Headline*
Trump Signs 8.3 Billion Coronavirus Spending Bill
*The Grind*
President Trump signed an $8.3 billion spending bill Friday aimed at
fighting the coronavirus outbreak, the culmination of a bipartisan
effort by Congress and the White House to provide funds to federal
agencies, as well as state and local governments, to battle the
disease. ?We?re doing well, but it?s an unforeseen problem,? the
president said as he signed the legislation in the White House's
Diplomatic Reception Room. He made the comments before departing for
Tennessee to tour damage from tornadoes that struck the state earlier
this week. Trump also said he did not think Americans were too worried
about the potential effects of the coronavirus.
*The Details*
"I don't think they're panicking," Trump said at the bill signing.
"It'll go away." Earlier, the White House said the president had
canceled a planned trip Friday to the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, with the White House saying that the
president does not want to interfere with the agency's work to fight
the novel coronavirus. But speaking to reporters, Trump said he still
may go the CDC, saying the visit was canceled because of concerns
someone at CDC may have been infected. Tests, though, have since come
back negative, he said. By Friday morning, the trip to Atlanta had
been added back to the president's schedule. "They had one person who
was potentially infected ... Because of the one person, at a high
level," Trump said.

Adviser to Iran?s Foreign Minister Dies of Coronavirus
*The Grind*
Tehran (AFP) ? An adviser to Iran?s foreign minister who took part in
the 1979 U.S. embassy hostage crisis has died from coronavirus, the
official IRNA news agency reported. Hossein Sheikholeslam, ?a veteran
and revolutionary diplomat? died late Thursday, IRNA said. Iran has
been scrambling to contain the rapid spread of coronavirus which so
far has infected 3,513 people and killed at least 107 people in the
Islamic republic. Six of those who died from coronavirus are
politicians or government officials. Before his death Sheikholeslam was
advisor to Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif. A former ambassador
to Syria, he also served as deputy foreign minister from 1981 to
1997. Sheikholeslam was also one of the students involved in the 1979
Iran hostage crisis.
*The Details*
That year, and less than nine months after the toppling of the
American-backed shah, Iranian students stormed the U.S. embassy in
Tehran and took 52 Americans hostage. This prompted Washington to sever
diplomatic ties with Iran in 1980. The hostages were freed in January
1981, after 444 days in captivity. The novel coronavirus has also
claimed the lives of other high-profile Iranian officials, including
Mohammad Mirmohammadi of the Expediency Council which advises
supremeer Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Other deaths linked to the virus
include Mohammad Ali Ramezani, an MP from Gilan, one of the worst-hit
provinces in the country.
