Grilled about a Washington Post report claiming he’d repeatedly ignored warnings as early as January and February that coronavirus could present a huge problem, Trump told a White House press conference that the story was false, and cited his ban on visitors from China to the US as evidence of his fast action.
‘I have a great relationship with President Xi , but I wish they could have told us earlier about what was inside, because we could have come up with a solution.supports HTML5 video‘With that said I have great respect for that country and great respect for the leadership of that country. Asked about his January 24 tweet, the president insisted China had been transparent at that time, but had subsequently shrouded its coronavirus briefings in secrecy.
Trump called Chinese President Xi Jinping, pictured, his ‘friend’ but accused the communist country of failing to give the US ‘advance warning’ about coronavirus – which has been heavily denied by the White House – alleges that US intelligence officials began warning of the potential chaos coronavirus could cause in January, only for President Trump to repeatedly ignore them and play it down.
I thought it was all a hoax anyway so if they had said anything, would he have listened 🤷♂️
Great respect for Xi What is there to respect about this monster? He imprisons anyone who doesn't follow the CCP line, censors free speech and allows its citizens to torture and kill millions of companion animals. No respect for this man. Please!
Warnin eh
Don’t think it’s the time for the blame game 🤦🏻♂️
...so does Trump, as US president, truly believe people will accept he was the ONLY person in the World who didn’t know? This amoeba is beyond words realDonaldTrump
He wasn’t taking any notice anyway
That's true, but irrelevant at this point.
He's finally lost hjr bloody plot
It wouldn’t have made any difference, Trump would have done nothing
Clickiest bait of all clickbait. Trump didn't 'blast' China. Trump PRAISED China for their handling of the crisis, with exception of the fact they had the disease for two months without telling anyone. Come on Metro. Stop the ragebait.
Why has he not yet been arrested for giving unlicensed medical advice and prescribing medication?
Yeah it was all soo sudden. If only there was some way of letting everyone know
In other words Trump didn't watch the news.
