"The uncomfortable truth is that Donald Trump left America exposed and vulnerable to this pandemic. He ignored the warnings of health experts and intelligence agencies and put his trust in China's leaders instead," Biden said in a video ad posted online. Trump's campaign responded to Biden's video with its own, condemning the former vice president for objecting to Trump's late-January order restricting non-US travelers from China to combat COVID-19.As the coronavirus spread, Biden appears to have hardened his tone toward China, comparing its leaders to"Jack the Ripper" in a March Democratic debate with presidential rival Senator Bernie Sanders, who has since dropped his White House bid and endorsed Biden.
