President Trump signed an executive order on Monday ending current and future federal funding for gain-of-function research in certain countries, such as China and Iran.
The order seeks to protect Americans from this type of “dangerous” research and any lab accidents and biosecurity incidents that most likely caused the COVID-19 pandemic.
American innovation will not be impeded by the order, according to the White House, but it will increase the safety and security of biological research in the U.S.
