Trump blames China for 'mass Worldwide killing' despite initially playing down the seriousness of the threat and saying repeatedly that he believed China was addressing the outbreak
Washington - US President Donald Trump on Wednesday again lashed out at China over the coronavirus pandemic, blaming Beijing for"mass Worldwide killing."
The virus first appeared in the Chinese city of Wuhan last December and spread rapidly around the world, killing more than 323,000 people at the latest count, and triggering huge economic damage. Pushing back at Trump's WHO critcism, Zhao on Wednesday highlighted what he called the"many mistakes and loopholes on the US side, their lies and rumors."
