President Trump calls the coronavirus outbreak the “worst attack” ever on the United States. “This is worse than Pearl Harbor, this is worse than the World Trade Center. We have never seen an attack like this,” he told reporters. “This should never have happened, but could have been stopped at the source. In China. It should have been stopped there, but it didn’t.”
Foreign Minister Pompeo also lashed out at the Chinese against journalists, as he has often done in recent weeks. “China could have prevented the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people in the world and they could have prevented an economic disaster. They still refuse to release the information we need for people’s safety.”
The US government is considering sanctions against China for its response to the corona outbreak. To date, more than 70,000 Americans have died from the coronavirus.
