President Donald Trump has appointed Jim O'Neill as acting director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) following the departure of Susan Monarez, who served less than a month in the position.

Monarez's representatives stated she left after declining to approve certain directives and terminate staff members.
