France, a permanent member of the council, proposed a version demanding a"general and immediate cessation of hostilities in all countries," including a 30-day humanitarian pause in conflicts, to allow coronavirus-related supplies to flow, according to a text reviewed by NBC News.
Those demands have hit a wall with China, a veto-wielding member of the Security Council, whose diplomats accused the U.S. of"irresponsible practices" in a blistering email to other nations' diplomats this week obtained by NBC News. The U.S. mission didn't respond to a request for comment. But a senior Trump administration official said a key element of Trump's effort to address coronavirus is to convene global experts"to better understand the coronavirus."
Russia's mission to the U.N. didn't respond to a request for comment. But on Tuesday, the Russians dropped their insistence on in-person meetings, several diplomats said. The shift came the same day that Russian President Vladimir Putin, wearing a full protective suit and a respirator as he visited a hospital, was told by Moscow's mayor that Russia has significantly more coronavirus patients than its official tally shows.
At this point, where it started does not matter! Finding a cure should be everyone’s focus.
I see nothing wrong with that. All meats should be tested before being sold to the public. Is it feasible, is another question.
Blame Someone Else, the Trump doctrine. It may distract us from the fact that the secret service made him aware of the virus in November. He chose to do nothing until the WHO declared it a Pandemic.
TrumpIsKillingUs
So who does Trump want to blame for Cancer!? Or mass shootings?
Well He's got such a fantastic relationship with the UN and the world what could go wrong
Ridiculous embarrassing, fool!
oranges of the virus?
Trumpery has no brain
Then every country and their mother should insist on it happening back to us. They warned us.
Everyone knows the most recent pandemics originated in China because of their wet markets or wild markets. They have a reason for allowing it but no regulatory oversight.
They can fight about this later. Today we all collectively need to fight this virus and try to save as many lives as we can in every country
How is this productive?
Same technique as usual - distract, divide, chaos, conquer.
How's being ignored going for them
POTUS is and always has been a fucking racist.
Well, after SARS and COVID, China needs to control these open air markets where drinking water gets contaminated with weird animals. But, not to do it for racist reasons
Is that man in the WH serious?🤨
1) It likely came from a bat. 2) People have been eating bats for 70,000+ yrs. 3) Let's see the bat's birth certificate. 4) Let's see bat's passport/immigration papers. 5) Avoid non-traditional protein food sources.
Why r they all afraid of trump
the bully always looks to blame others, look at how he cant keep Obama's name out of his delusional mouth. Who cares at this point, get the job done firstly and BIGLY.
No one wants their divisive race baiting. G7 nixed it. So will UN
Ridiculous and all for the ego of one troubled man.
Nikki Haley? Where is your integrity?
Good!
Isn’t China a member of UNSC with veto power? Waste of time and unnecessary antagonism.
The UN needs to shut him down.
Stupid goes full blown!
The always my way agenda is ignorant.
You mean the trump virus!!
World-class liability?
So this is what trump is focused on. Not saving the lives of American citizens. Typical from his tiny little mind
Why?
I at one time loved being an American. Now because of trump and his racial rants, blatant lies and careless handling of the coronavirus I am now ashamed to be one.
The new campaign slogan for Trump is 'hindsight.'
OMG!! He’s not embarrassing enough without this kind of brainless nonsense Really How many more reasons does America need to bounce this moron in November
I think everybody knows that COVID-19 was first reported in China, and that “everybody”, includes the United Nations.
Assigning blame is pointless.
Uh... No.
stop pointing fingers, and figure this shit out
Like little boys calling out a fart in the school yard.
No, this administration doesn't have better things to do. This is the best use of taxpayers' money & the best way to earn global respect & prestige.
China and Russia will veto it so it is a waste of everyone's time
Serves absolutely no purpose except to divert blame! He spends so much time on things other than his job and we all know why!
Slap his dumb a with his own Tweets!!
I love that Trump is more focused on being a racist than helping those that are in critical condition. He has NEVER given condolences to those families that have lost loved ones to the Coronavirus! Disgusting!
I hope they investigate realDonaldTrump's failure to act at the same time.
Can you please focus on getting protective gear to the nations health care workers instead of finding someone to blame?
😡
Why bother...... he said it will be over in April.
In an effort to hide his incompetence
What a waste of our collective - and finite - energies.
tRump's people: 'Look, there's an election coming up and we can get through this if our simple minded followers have a foreigner to blame.'
Why isn't 100% of America and most of the world sick of this bs?!
WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES THAT MAKE
SaucedbySally That’s cuz he wants to distract from how much he’s to blame for this.
For fucks sake
Too bad you Communist delegates from Red China 🇨🇳‼️ We’re going to call it like WE see it! It came from a lab in Wuhan China 🇨🇳.You were derelict in giving truthful information that could have given an earlier heads up on the Chinese🦠,but U did NOT‼️Get mad;who cares!U fault‼️
StaywokeV Can we do this LATER? Like, maybe, after the pandemic has settled down a bit?
Poor Americans
He’s like a guilty child asking others to cover for him. Stop it Don.
This is the pandemic version of the Hunter Biden investigation.
Who gives a shit at this point, realDonaldTrump? Rot in hell.
The UN will never tell the world the truth, how ignorant can people be!
Our elected President -never a leader. By trade he was a businessman. At best he’s a carnival barker and he was elected to reverse all the policies of a real leader. Including dismantling a pandemic office whose sole responsibility was to track diseases. November’s choice clear.
This administration is so broken and pathetic. November can't come soon enough and I hope we NEVER see another one of these embarrassing immoral petulant children hold office again.
That’s useful. Not.
Trump and his oranges.
Who doesn't know that? We're a shithole country bc we have a POTUS who believed a Communist / authoritarian leader and is now pushing his own propaganda. I believe neither. realDonaldTrump SecPompeo UN USAmbUN
We need to focus on how the response was handled here in the US
Trump would rather blame than solve...
The UN Security Council shoud be investigating tRump for crimes against humanity.
It never ends 😔
How sad that America now joins the ranks of autocratic regimes more interested in propaganda than protecting their citizens.
Petty stupid man
Why quibble about it, the Chinese said it originated in Hunan. It belongs to them.
Instead of ensuring the medical responders have PPE in America, tRump & his racist admin are showing their lack of leadership by name calling. History will not be kind to those that did not step up to be true leaders 25thAmendmentNow
How is this helping the situation?
The attempt to deflect attention from his own crimes
It was a bat. It didn't have a nationality. What's next? The crime was committed by a man wielding a gun made in Austria? The driver of the vehicle, made in Dearborn...
The blame game
That's his plan to distract from the fact that the US is on track to become the epicenter.
Well it was China, this is an interesting report
How many viruses or epidemics originated from the USA? Asking for a friend
He wants the rest of the world to help him rewrite history on this because he KNOWS that his admin made a complete hash of it. He's realising how history books will look on this episode and he doesn't like what he sees. We mustn't be complicit.
To what purpose? Better to work to make wet markets illegal globally.
Trump wants the UN to do what he always does. Place blame on someone or something to cover up his failures.
Gotherrific Why let a global pandemic get in the way of blaming someone else for your own failings? It's the Donald Trump way.
Disgusting Trump.
I know Italy was like, I really feel sorry for United States. You see how bad this virus hit us and we have a sane leader, just imagine them with trump as their leader.😔
Trump is preparing his, 'It's not my fault tour'. 'I'm not responsible' will become his mantra. It's the Chinese that caused this; it's Obama fault, and by default, it's Biden's fault. This will be an endless 'poor me' deluge of ads.
cincycher Dear World, we're sorry we unleashed this foolish administration on you all. Please forgive us. Keep doing the hard work while Trump and his sycophants dither.
这起源于哪里，是联合国认定，不是科学调查来的？
So it means something is wrong around Trump that he doesn't want others to know. What's it?
IT IS 😳
And yet realDonaldTrump still has tariffs in place that cost American jobs
Please solve the problem and stop investigating or blaming the origins. PLEASE, the humans around the world are dying, and the living want to see another day. Signed, every human on this planet
It’s a tired old fascist trope. Demonize a country for a (natural) disaster (hello Covid-19) then bomb the snot out of them to kickstart your economy. That’s why they don’t want to give you back your own taxes as a stimulus, they’d rather you subsidize the corporate bombs.
Instead of spending time, effort and money as to where the place, name of virus; why not come up with a global effort to suppress it? Annihilate it? Why can't the US focus on saving lives rather than being petty? Time for that later... we need adults in the White House!
It’s okay. It originated there
sorry Donnie but it will soon be called the trump flu because of the way he failed to handle the situation effectively
👇Communist Democrats tripping over themselves to defend China. 👇
What they focused is still not to the point
Good.
IF TRUMP HAS THE TRUTH OR ANY EVIDENCE, THEY SHOULD SHOW IT. I REALLY DONT UNDERSTAND WHY THEY ARE ONLY TALKING AND TALKING. OR JUST SEND AIRCRAFTS!
The U.S is run by Juveniles
We all know that a big reason to do this is to make excuses for Trump! His entire life everyone has made excuses for him & covered up his F- ups & it continues today !
As they should. CHina should be held accountable for lying and hiding the severity of this virus which caused it to spread unchecked for weeks.
Trump our Easter Bunny dhhh Don't waste your breath on him Read this carefully
UNAOC WATCH PANDEMIC ON NETFLIX BETTER STOP TO FINGERPOINT Act together as One to overcome these problems
It’s the “let’s see if I can find any other idiots to blame China” tour. He tried it with the G7. How did that work out?
Communist China proxy, NBC News, doesn't want the China origin of the Wuhan virus to be called out. By order of Xi. NBC News is just another sellout like the NBA.
I'm guessing trade negotiations have stalled
November cant come quick enough!!
Trump embarrasses the USA daily.
W.H.O. has responsibility in this debacle too. They carried water for a cover up on behalf of the Chinese government. Or they did absolutely no oversight & just parroted the communist regimes talking points. I lost a lot of money, unlike Senators privy to the classified briefing
FWIWmacro Perfect
He just can’t let it go
Wahhaaaat? Morencrazystuff
Where did the virus come from
How childish
Good. Don't let the Chinese commies cover up the truth.
He’s an idiot and they know it
It's not the time to blame, but if you want to blame then we help to dig out the truth thoroughly.
China and around China(Russia, Korea, Japan, Hongkong, Taiwan) have got the virus under control. For those out of control, they are closer to US! The virus was spreading before China!
Give it up - this is embarrassing and not important
Let's couple that investigation with an investigation into when the Trump administration found out about the Carona virus and what their response was.
The United States did not allow the who to investigate because it was afraid the public would know! CDC officials have acknowledged some American flu deaths from a novel coronavirus. Recall that the United States is again conducting exercise 201 and closing fort dridrik! Why ?
Is this what the US should be focusing on right now? If yes, then we are all f’ed.
反求诸己
It doesn’t matter at this point it’s not going to change anything. Put this energy and money into IDK test kits
Immature, disgusting, unprofessional and wrong. We are going to blame a country that just suffered all that devastation over something that could not be controlled? SecPompeo WhiteHouse POTUS You shame our country almost daily and the world will not forget this.
Instead of using the war powers act to increase production of ventilators, trump is doing nothing but begging other nations to supply equipment and wasting money over the name of this virus. It should've the trump virus in America because of his lack of action.
Stupidest, pettiest thing ever.
WTF. Should the main issue now be to be united and cooperate? What's the point here , wasting time dissussing over nonsense
Jusvt do this, and Americans will finally find no countries can help them defeat the virus because of Trump's shit words and actions! Hope GOD make the end slower!
If this is true, good, but I’m not sure because is nbc news.
This says everything about what is most important to this administration during the epidemic
The trump administration is inept.
what's this leading to? a war with China? Seriously what good will the blame game do right now?
The American thief cries to catch the thief, confuses the public, sets up the evidence, inverts black and white, despicable and shameless has been common!
Where did H1N1 come from? Any containment made? Only cover-up! Have the rest of the world blame state?
I'd have accepted NBC's account if your team had qualified the demand by POTUS as yet another ignorant, racist, irresponsible demand selfishly put upon an innocent third party so the raving lunatic could pander to his base in only is latest electioneering scheme
I got two rolls of TP that says by Monday morning florida will be ready to fight NY for epicenter rights
Till China is part of the UNSC, there’s nothing you can do to them. And frankly they don’t quite care for western opinion anyways coz they know that the west depends on Chinese goods for its survival.
Trying to distract from his own failure.
ridiculous
Best defense is a strong offense. Tump does not want the UN to look into US involvement and handling of CORVID-19. Trump could be facing a Crimes Against Humanity charge from the UN.
The spanish flu's origins were in America. I demand we rename it the American flu before we start calling covid the chinese flu. Fair is fair.
So embarrassing.
This racist admin can't change
This crisis was China's fault, lets prevent it from happening again
Wouldn't it be much easier to have G7 done this?
Some admin.
Provoking a conflict will only make the American people more miserable, hell is empty, the devil is on earth.
More fiddling while NY burns.
They need to give the Trump admin a smackdown. Turn the tables & call out the US for worst response time, worst efficacy, most fucked up response to a pandemic the world has ever seen.
Oh FFS Their racism is the most important thing to them besides lining their pockets with money. Human life is meaningless to them.
TRUMP IS TRYING TO COVER-UP AGAIN ...THERE NEEDS TO BE A WORLD INVESTIGATION OF BIOLOGICAL WARFARE AND NOT BY CHINA...TRUMP AND PUTIN HAVE HAD SOME VERY CLOSED DOOR SECRET MEETINGS...START WITH THEM.
The coronavirus in China is under control. what happened in America? Forget about ballot papers!IF you do well,the public will choose you.
You’d probably have to watch a Simpsons episode to see which way it goes? 🤔
Shit someone has to address the Elephant in the room, might as well be the big bad orange man. After all it’s what Trump does, he says what most people are thinking minus the political correctness of course.
Trump is a coward who is covering up his own incompetence
Yes, call it out for what it is.
It came from China.
The house bill Includes a 25 million dollar pay raise for the House of Representatives. This is an abomination. They have no shame.
I hate to correct you as to the origins, but... What's that, Koriak? Oh yeah. I'm not allowed. Frethik SomeGoodNews Some, Soem, Soam! So with an M at the end! What's with this dumb computer typist?
Deflection
China should answer for their deception. More of a learning situation vs retaliation though.
We all know where it originated dummy. Why are you wasting time on the blame game.
Now tell how the U.S.was involved in making the bio weapon with them.
And American are mad at the President? We must be in the Twilight Zone
Trump is trash. TrumpPlague
This is a distraction. Did we call swine flu the American flu So ridiculous
Did he also let them know that he basically created borders so we should thank him for that?
Well the UN will then have to call out Trump for letting Americans die
Yes, temper tantrums always help when in a crisis.
'insist'. Adversarial by default. Partisan activists not news
So desperate to cover up their complete incompetence and failure.
Stop the blame game! We're here now. Get on with solving the problem now!
Good!
🤬
Racists gonna racist
It’s the ChinaVirus for a reason you useful idiots.
I hope they reassess their indiscriminate consumption of wild animals.
the us again wants to shift its crimes to others
Good
To the US and started the whole pandemic for us. He got past them all, most likely not having any symptoms and got to the US, then eventually testing positive. Y’all need to knock it off, that shouldn’t matter anymore, the virus got out and we need to stop it. Period.
First he thanks China for working day and night to keep the virus contained. Then he blames them that it go out. Then is racist af to them. Good lord- yes it came from China, we heard that they worked like crazy to keep it contained. Is it their fault? No. Some dude traveled...
The SECURITY COUNCIL should redress the issue from virus origins to containment. Donald Trump, as his character proves thru his narratives... Is truly undignified of POTUS leadership. Trump excels at dividing, incites conflict, & lacks empathy.
Good. If the Chinese government had been honest in November, the world wouldn't be in this position now.
Gee, I thought he was great friends with China. Just throw everyone under the bus and keep on driving, huh!
You come from your mother’s Vagina but we still call you trump !!
Who cares where it originated? It’s taking more lives everyday, let’s focus on where it ends damn it!
What's wrong with mentioning that the China virus started in China?
Evryone knows, so just BOYCOTT ALL CHINESE PRODUCTS. Send them back 2 rice farming.
The United States should allow WHO to assist in investigating the origins of ELAVI and flu so CCP can be easily defeated
Trump's said: I was the one who created the coronavirus and unleashed upon America.
What for? They did not organize a quick response or preparation. Blame game?
The Chinese are definitely involved in the manufacture and spread of thus pandemic and rest assured that they ave a vaccine for it. A few locaa as l casualties is insignificant. Take a look at a map of the world and locate Wuhan in comparison to the next locations of destruction.
This NOT the time We need to focus on getting this under control ridiculous GET him out now
Good. They started it and kept it hidden for awhile
1213treboR Excellent decision!!! They steal or technology and now our lives
The Chinese dictatorship did all they could to misled, hide, and stop information about the Corona Virus. They jailed doctors, some 'disappeared' and their state media falsely stated the virus was spread by the US military. To NOT call attention to this would be malfeasance.
Maybe they could call attention to Trumps inaction and the murder of millions - coming.
Not surprise
What a giant waste! Just like Every thing that makes himlook bad he wants to pin it on someone or something else! Even a GlobalPandemic ! He’s beyond pathetic
I hope the Council recognize how horrible an action by Trump. And that the American people do not agree with this.
You better believe if it originated in the United States, and we hid it from the world causing a pandemic, the very same UN would DEMAND Americans pay reparations.
Just doing a cya maneuver. He failed.
Somehow this administration believes that blaming China will quickly get rid of the virus. Or they just wanna make themselves look less responsible for not containing the virus. I think it's the latter.
The problem in the United States is not where the virus originated. It was trump who didn't pay attention to the outbreak in the early stage and wasted it. Two months
As they should. Libs stop virtue signaling
This administration is beyond an embarrassment.
Chinas government must be charged with war crimes, bioterrorism and crimes against humanity. Disgusting wet markets with no regulations caused this catastrophe!!!
Pathetic. We don’t care about the origins. We care about saving lives realDonaldTrump Is hard for the average Joe and Jane to ignore when people they know and love get suddenly sick and die a horrible death. Why can’t we provide for our own nation, in our own homeland?🇺🇸GBUSA
Why isn't the Security Council practicing social distancing?
Great should we call the deaths from mismanagement TrumpDeathToll
Let us call the Spanish flu...the American flu...because it came from the USA. What a US kindergarten. Not enough testing kits and other equipment but blame China. You cannot take the USA serious any longer.
