I got this from a dishonest liberal rag known as Reuters, not Snopes.
The Trump administration indeed eliminated the Global Health Security and Biodefense unit, known as the “pandemic response” team. Some of its members were reassigned to roles that included pandemic response, but the change had only one single honest purpose, which was to placate Trump's obsession with undoing whatever President Obama's administration set up. There was no other purpose than that, and the government lost some experts in so doing. It was a pretty stupid thing to do, though the Trump Administration later claimed they were "streamlining," to cover up for what can only be described as tribal boneheadedness.
