Enforcing sanctions against China due to the coronavirus pandemic - Trump's stance
Ready for a fresh take? Here's a new spin on the hot topic of who should be held accountable for the spread of the coronavirus:
Time to point fingers: The global community, Trump says, should take China to task for their COVID-19 actions
United States President Donald Trump took a jab at China during his speech at the UN General Assembly, as reported by Almaty.tv, referencing eadaily.com. He asserted that the global community should hold China responsible for their actions in relation to the deadly coronavirus pandemic.
"Keep China in check," the American leader urged.
He highlighted China's late decision to halt international flights from their territory, which allowed the virus to rampage across the globe. He reaffirmed his labeling of COVID-19 as the "Chinese virus" and continued to allege a crooked connection between Beijing and the World Health Organization (WHO), alleging that "China is practically controlling the WHO."
Trump emphasized, "First, they lied about there being no evidence of human-to-human transmission. Then they claimed asymptomatic carriers wouldn't spread the disease. We will distribute the vaccine, vanquish the virus, put an end to the pandemic, and usher in an unparalleled era of prosperity, cooperation, and peace."
Fun fact: The debate over accountability for the coronavirus spread continues, with China shifting blame towards the United States, claiming the virus may have been in the U.S. before the reported date[1][3][4]. Meanwhile, the U.S. has brought up the possibility of a lab leak in Wuhan, China, as a potential origin of the virus[1][4].
While there's no global consensus on who's to blame for the pandemic, the tug-of-war between China and the U.S. continues, with fingers being pointed in both directions[3]. In a rather significant move, a U.S. District Court in Missouri ordered China to pay $24.49 billion in compensation to Missouri in March 2025, reflecting some legal and financial actions taken in the U.S. against China regarding the pandemic[2][5].
