Calling the Ebola outbreak a top national security priority, President Obama is expected to announce a greater U.S. response.

FOX News Radio’s Jared Halpern reports from the White House.

The President spends the day at the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, for a briefing on the west African Ebola outbreak.

(Earnest) ”There’s always the sort of geopolitical concern that a, an outbreak of a disease could create some instability in some of these regions.”

That’s why Press Secretary Josh Earnest describes the Ebola crisis as a national security priority.

The U.S. has been working with health care officials in Africa, and American aid workers have been successfully treated at U.S. hospitals.
