US Prez Trump Warns China Could Face Consequences if Deliberately Spread Coronavirus Pandemic

US President Donald Trump warned on Saturday that China could face consequences if it was "knowingly responsible" for the 

coronavirus pandemic.

"It could have been stopped in China before it started and it wasn't," Trump told reporters at a White House briefing. "And now the whole 

world is suffering because of it."

Trump was asked whether China ought to endure outcomes over the pandemic which started in the Chinese city of Wuhan in December 

also, has left in excess of 157,000 individuals dead around the globe. 

"On the off chance that they were purposely dependable, surely," he said. "On the off chance that it was a misstep, a mix-up is an error. 

"Be that as it may, on the off chance that they were intentionally capable, definitely, at that point there ought to be results," Trump said. 

"Was it a mix-up that gained out of power or was it done purposely?" he inquired. "That is a major distinction between those two.

"In either event they should have let us go in," he said. "We asked to go in early. And they didn't



want us in. I think they knew it was 

something bad and they were embarrassed."

"They said they're doing an investigation," the president continued. "So let's see what happens with their investigation. But we're doing 

investigations also."

The Trump administration has said it doesn't rule out that the novel coronavirus was spread -- accidentally -- from a laboratory 

researching bats in Wuhan.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian -- who previously alleged that the US military may have brought the virus into China -- 

has rejected US media reports on the subject and said there is "no scientific basis."

Trump also cast doubt on official Chinese figures showing the country has suffered just 0.33 deaths per 100,000 people.

"The number's impossible," he said. "It's an impossible number to hit."

The United States, according to a chart displayed at the briefing, has had 11.24 deaths per 100,000 people while France has had 27.92 and 

Spain 42.81.
