New Delhi : Issuing a fresh salvo on China, the US President Donald Trump has claimed that either the nation was incompetent in handling the situation or did it intentionally.
More than 68,000 Americans have died in the crisis and over 1.1 million people were tested positive for the COVID 19 infection. Globally, around 250,000 people have died and more than 3.5 million were affected by the contagious virus.
"Coronavirus is a terrible thing that happened to our country. It came from China, it should have been stopped on the spot in time," he said while talking to FOX News.
"They (China) chose not to do anything and it got spread across the world. This means that the country was incompetent or did not do it for a reason. And America will find out what that reason was," he added.
