President Trump says US will hold China 'accountable' for pandemic

Mr Trump described the pandemic as "a point of incompetence" on behalf of China that forced the US economy to close.Medical volunteers dressed in protective suits, masks, gloves and goggles return to a medical practice after taking blood and throat mucus samples from visitors to test them for COVID-19 infection at a tent set up next door on March 27, 2020 in Berlin, Germany.

"We stand in solidarity with the thousands of Americans who are ill and waging a brave fight against the virus. "We're doing everything in our power to heal the sick and to gradually reopen our nation, and to safely get our people back to work." Mr Trump addressed the media at his daily scheduled White House briefing after a phenomenal backflip only hours earlier.

He launched a scathing attack on the media on Twitter before cancelling and then rescheduling his appearance.Mr Trump expressed his support for disgraced army General and former National Security Advisor, Michal Flynn who, in 2017, pleaded guilty to making false statements to the FBI in relation to the Special Counsel's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 elections.

Who is responsible for encouraging people to protest in states against lockdowns When they infect more ppl, who’ll b responsible 4that? When WHO warned you in January, why didn’t u take measures 2safeguard ur citizens? Isn’t that why u hav this many deaths in the USA? Moron

Someone should

Is the grubby little Chinese ambassador going to make threats to the U.S. as well.

Since when did the US become the world police? 😂😂

I bet China doesn't threaten the US like they have Australia. Australians, your enemy is China

We already knew you dont want pay your national debt as you spent all and could not afford to pay to CHINA

Go trumpy

Needs to take responsibility for his own inaction firstly!

Woohoo WW3 coming right up.

Off course. Is always someone else fault... 🤭🤭

He is the only one in the world who has the guts to stick it up China and why ? Because he owes them Nothing unlike Aldi Bags full of Cash.

I presume the other countries directives are happy for what it happened.

This he will!

rasisum at its finest

And so they should , it's bad karma for how they slaughter dogs anyway , fuckem!

The US owes China how much...cmon boy we all know why you want to discredit them,the US owes more than it brings

Blah blah blah the baby speaks

He’s gonna build a wall.

He talks big but when it finally comes down to economy and money he will soon forget this rhetoric and buddy buddy up again.

Everybody is holding China accountable. The whole world needs to forget politics and work together on this.

Maybe China will threaten their trade too

Did the world hold the US accountable for the global financial crisis and make them pay up ? Trump is only after political points.

👍🏻

And who will hold him accountable for his utterly spectacular failure in dealing with the crisis in the US Better worry over your own ass before anyone else’s. It’s going to get fried sooner.

There is padded cell waiting for Trump somewhere in the US, and not too soon

It should be held accountable! This Chinese Originated Virus has Infected and caused the Deaths of so many innocent people. ChinaLiedAndPeopleDied BoycottChina holdXiaccountable for his countries lies.

Agree

Trump should hold himself accountable for all the fucked decisions he has made. He was lackluster in his response and it shows. Yes, there should be repercussion for the Chinese government, but world leaders who failed their response should also be reprimanded heavily

What Trump didn't say 'We have lost the war against COVID-19. Now the next best thing to do is to blame China and make them pay for it. ' Ha Ha!

Wow... I find myself in agreement

Trump is making it very clear that he is not intimidated by the bstrards who started the virus.

Best thing that’s ever come out of your mouth DT.

Only 50,000 deaths. Why should he be unhappy.

Scientist have been expecting a pandemic, it just happened to be fr China (this time), it wasn’t manufactured (as confirmed by many scientists around the world), it was inevitable. We haven’t held other countries “accountable” 4 all other outbreaks. Yet here we are bc it’s China

He's never happy

I don’t like him but I have to agree this time! China must pay for it!

No need tolisten to the king of the idiot!

Well done realDonaldTrump ChinaMustExplain ChinaLiedAndPeopleDied ChineseVirus19

Don't agree with a lot he says.... But i have to agree with him on this occasion..... Send them the bill.... There's enough billionaires in the country to fit the bill..!!

Revenge is one of Trump’s favorite moves...

Good on him 😀 Its time the world stands up to the CCP and other dictator/ terrorist groups.

‘The age-old divide between capital and labour is behind us’: Cory Bernardi | Sky News AustraliaSky News contributor Cory Bernardi says Australia’s minimum wage system “effectively prices some people out of the job market” as he calls for effective industrial relations reform post-coronavirus.\n\nMr Bernardi said one good aspect out of the “coronamania” is business and government are now talking “publicly about substantive economic reform”.\n\n“Let's hope that tax reform is government speak for lower taxes and deregulation means unwinding red, green, blue, brown and yellow tape that is strangling productivity”.\n\nThe one area of reform which “desperately needs to be addressed” according to Mr Bernardi, is industrial relations.\n\n“The age-old divide between capital and labour is behind us; we need voluntary co-operation for both to prosper”.\n Watch it Cory. Lets see you live on the minimum wage. Then try living on less. Hands off. Cory Bernardi contributing to skynewsaust? Well I never would have thought that possible.
