Virus shaping up to be cataclysmic event with far-reaching consequences in global politics. FMTNews Covi19 Trump
US President Donald Trump has imposed a 30-day ban on travel from Europe, infuriating allies on the continent.
“When the dust settles on the Covid-19 world, we won’t be in the same place that we were just a week ago,” said Jon Alterman, a senior vice-president at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington. Leaders from the European Union voiced outrage at the move, which triggered chaos at airports, and said that they had not been consulted – which Trump acknowledged.
But China in the past week has sought to turn its Covid-19 response into a sort of soft power, with President Xi Jinping visiting Wuhan to trumpet success at containing the spread. An article in the state-run Global Times unsubtly hinted that China could stop exports of face masks and other medical gear if the Trump administration keeps pressing to restrict its tech giant Huawei.
The Trump administration, which has offered US$100 million in aid worldwide to help other countries deal with the pandemic, has in turn sought to associate China firmly with Covid-19.
