Lawrence Summers says focusing COVID-19 response only at home is moral and national security error Former U.S. treasury secretary Lawrence Summers says a country focusing its coronavirus response only at home is a moral issue and national security error. ‘This is not a moral, primarily or only, a moral issue of doing right by poor people in poor countries. This is forward defense of our national security interests. In terms of health where second waves will inevitably make their way to our shores, and affect our citizens. And, forward defense of our security interests in terms of avoiding the kind of populist, authoritarian political wave that history shows can do so much damage.”
