The US public needs an enemy and the Trump faithful won't believe Russia after the horseshít the democrats pulled last time. They already hate China for this. Easy for Donald. Do you want Joe in charge of taking care of them?
Who suggested a boycott of Chinese goods? That would hurt the world, what is the point? Trump will add a few billion on to the trade deal. You need a hulk hogan type character to sort this mess out. Trump to rip his shirt off during the election campaign 1.01. Joe can't compete with that. BTW Occam's Razor says it was a lab in Wuhan. |

It was dave. You seem to think Trumpy's tweet caused the disease, it was China really. we will get round to the disease trump is responsible for in another thread, this one is about china misleading the WHO and that tweet was about trump buttering up china when the WHO was being blocked from the country. |

Donald Trump's apparent attempt to scapegoat the World Health Organisation (WHO) for the COVID-19 pandemic appears to have been rebuffed in a virtual summit of the G7 world's richest nations.
The day after the US president drew international outrage for suspending funding for the WHO, all other world leaders attending the meeting gave the organisation their support. Efforts to coordinate international efforts against the COVID-19 pandemic have been jeopardised by the controversy over the Trump administration's unprecedented move to withdraw funding for the global body tasked with battling the outbreak. The White House tried to put its best gloss on the outcome of the virtual summit claiming that "much of the conversation centred on the lack of transparency and chronic mismanagement of the pandemic by the WHO. The leaders called for a thorough review and reform process." But other world leaders stood by the WHO seeing it as an important part of efforts to coordinate an international response. The Trump Administration says the WHO was too slow to respond to the outbreak in Wuhan and too ready to praise China's response, kowtowing to Beijing for political reasons. There has been frustration with China and the WHO among other western governments and a recognition the international body needs some measure of reform. But there has been universal dismay at President Trump's decision to cut US funding for the WHO. Allies suspect the president is attempting to distract attention from his administration's failings in dealing with the virus. President Trump initially called the coronavirus outbreak a hoax and the number of cases in America is rising more steeply than anywhere else in the world. Western diplomats concede America's allies have been blindsided by the president's decision and say it is not at all clear what kind of reforms he would like to see at the WHO to see funding reinstated.
