'It could have been stopped in China before it started and it wasn't. And now the whole world is suffering because of it,' Trump said.
US President Donald Trump warned on Saturday that China could face consequences if it was"knowingly responsible" for the coronavirus pandemic.
Trump was asked whether China should suffer consequences over the pandemic which began in the Chinese city of Wuhan in December and has left more than 157,000 people dead around the world. "In either event they should have let us go in," he said."We asked to go in early. And they didn't want us in. I think they knew it was something bad and they were embarrassed."
The Trump administration has said it doesn't rule out that the novel coronavirus was spread -- accidentally -- from a laboratory researching bats in Wuhan.
