The White House is planning to seek more than $1.4 billion in new funds from Congress to address the widening Ebola virus outbreak as soon as Wednesday,
according to a Trump administration official.
The request, which is set to be included in a larger supplemental funding request, would include $800 million more for humanitarian crisis response.
That $800 million will fund a quarantine center in Kenya for Americans exposed to the virus as well as supplies, treatment, contact tracing, a regional logistics network and infection control practices.
