U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham introduced the Senate bill on sanctions against China for the spread of the coronavirus COVID-19. This is stated in the press release policy, the content of which leads to RIA Novosti.
under the bill “About responsibility for COVID-19” the President of the United States Donald Trump is invited to impose sanctions if China does not provide a full report on the outbreak of the disease.
Graham expressed confidence that no fraud on the part of the Communist party of China of the virus in the United States would not exist. According to him, Beijing was denied to the world community in the investigation in the laboratory in Wuhan. According to the Senator, the Chinese authorities have refused to allow an investigation into how the outbreak started. “I am sure that China will never cooperate with any serious investigation, if he can’t make it,” said he.
the Bill received support from eight Republican senators. The document provides for two months to confirm to Congress that China has provided a full report on the emergence of the pandemic and shut down all the markets where the virus could spread from wild animals to humans. Graham also demanded to release all activists who were arrested in Hong Kong after the outbreak of the pandemic.
Without such evidence Trump will be allowed to impose sanctions such as asset freeze, prohibition on entry, revocation of visas, the prohibition of financial institutions of the United States to lend or to engage in the underwriting of business in China, the prohibition of Chinese firms to list their securities on U.S. exchanges.
