The US President Donald trump has warned China that it not to avoid liability for the resulting pandemic coronavirus. Washington sharply increased criticism of Beijing because he did not cope with the outbreak, reports Reuters.
“the Pandemic could be stopped in China before it occurs, but this has not happened. Now the entire world suffers,” said trump at a press briefing at the White house.
According to him, one can understand if the Chinese made a mistake. But if they “knowingly responsible” for the spread of the virus, they can not escape consequences.
“Now the question is whether the situation with the coronavirus, the bug that got out of control, or was it done intentionally? It’s a big difference,” said the President.
While trump did not specify what actions can be taken by the United States.
Relations between the US and China because of the coronavirus worse every day. The parties suspect each other in the creation of the virus and propaganda. The American media persistently inspire readers the idea of “patient zero” with COVID-19 that appeared at the laboratory of Virology in Wuhan. Attempts to call the disease the “China virus.”
Trump and his entourage have long accused China of lack of transparency around the lab of Wuhan, and statistics of the coronavirus. Last week, the White house has suspended its assistance to the world health organization, accusing it of being “focused on China.”
Some Chinese experts, in turn, accused the origin of the virus to the us military.
While political opponents trump in the US believe he is trying to use the theme of Beijing in the presidential race. Task – to distract voters from its own failures and take advantage of the growing anti-Chinese sentiment in the country.
However, the White house is unlikely to step over the line and break relations with China. The US largely depend on Chinese supplies of personal protective equipment, which desperately need American doctors. In addition, trump wants to keep the trade deal with Beijing.
Earlier, the Rambler reported that trump made a statement about relations with Russia.
