せる計画が中断、コスト他の見直しを行う

The White House canceled an announcement planned for Wednesday on a proposed
venture between General Motors and Ventec Life Systems to build necessary
ventilators amid the coronavirus outbreak, the New York Times first reported
and Axios confirmed.

What we know: The announcement was called off to buy more time for the Federal
Emergency Management Agency to assess whether the estimated cost of more than
$1 billion was too expensive, and how many ventilators would be produced.
Per the Times, the deal could still happen, but government officials are currently
looking at other proposals.
