"A payroll tax cut through the end of the year is the best possible fiscal stimulus for combatting the coronavirus outbreak," White House trade adviser Navarro told CNBC on Monday. 

Navarro further noted that he will be bringing an executive order to US President Trump that would reduce the US' foreign dependency on medicines.
