China's handling of the coronavirus pandemic is akin to the Soviet Union's response to Chernobyl, President Donald Trump's national security adviser, Robert O'Brien, said Sunday.
"The cover-up that they did of the virus is going to go down in history along with Chernobyl," O'Brien Chuck Todd on NBC's "Meet the Press," referring to the 1986 nuclear disaster in Ukraine. "We'll see an HBO special about 10 or 15 years from now."Asked about the implications of the pandemic for the new U.S.-China trade deal, O'Brien replied that "we're in a very different world" from when negotiations first began.
"We want good relations with China and with the Chinese people, but unfortunately, we're seeing just action after action by the Chinese Communist Party that makes it difficult," O'Brien said. "With respect to the trade deal, we'll see if they live up to it, but we're dealing in a new world now with corona."
"They unleashed a virus on the world that's destroyed trillions of dollars in American economic wealth that we're having to spend to keep our economy alive, to keep Americans afloat during this virus."
Not at all! The SU was trying to hide Chernobyl as much as possible they were embarrassed China was trying to minimize COVID19 as long as possible to give them enough time to spread it around as much as possible m
Exactly
So in 30 years we can expect an award winning Netflix series.
Here’s a clown who had a 2 month head start from the virus playbook developing in China! But like all blockheads, thought an ocean in the time of air travel would keep it away from his shores like the rest of WH gang that can’t shoot straight. Dummies!
That’s unfair. China was very modernized and thorough in treating the environment.
How many deaths from Covid-19 does China have? (4,624) How many does the US have? (97,992) Whose response was worse? Pretty sure that belongs to the guy who played golf for the last two days while more people died.
Start worrying about your own back yard first, isn't one of trumps saying ' America first '?
His interviews this morning were embarrassing.
PROJECTION! PROJECTION!
China arrested anyone who spoke out. China welded the doors to apartment buildings not allowing anyone in or out. Thank God there was no fires. China’s response was typical of totalitarian communists.
Boy is he going to be upset with Trumps handling. Here’s a clue: It’s worse
If the outbreak happened here, it would have been exponentially worse! Unprepared, with no pandemic response team, lack of PPE even after knowing it was going to be a pandemic and MISLEADERSHIP lying about spread and consequences after it hit our shores!
They still did better than trump
It’s not China that has 100,000 dead citizen. 2 months to prepare and fight the pandemic. Wasted it by calling it HOAX. Stop with BS all the blood is in realDonaldTrump and MoscowMitch hand. One could have done the actual work, other could have hold Narcissist accountable.
Spot on , The same communist playbook. Secretly and coverup no matter how many die.
realDonaldTrump 's handling of the pandemic would be more comparable to the Russian response to Chernobyl. It started in China but Trump had many chances to minimize the effect and he failed at every turn. He continues to fail. WorstPresidentEver TrumpIsKillingAmericans
He is right actually: Russian denial for weeks added to the death toll, just like the traitor's denial is adding to the death toll. DefectNowTraitorTrump
Bunch of drama queens!!!
America needs to worry about its own porch before they start sweeping off China's
