TIL Desk/World/Kathmandu/ United States President Donald Trump on Tuesday said of late he has not spoken with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping and has no plans to do so.
“No, I have not spoken to him, one. No, I do not. I have no plan to speak to them,” Trump told reporters at a White House press conference. He expressed anger over China’s inability to prevent the spread of the coronavirus out of the country, from where it originated.
“Make no mistake, we hold China fully responsible for concealing the virus and unleashing it upon the world. Could have stopped it, they should have stopped,” Trump said as he also lashed out at the World Health Organization for siding with China on this issue.
“They were really a puppet of China,” he said. Trump also slammed former vice president Joe Biden, who is his Democratic challenger in the November presidential polls, for being “soft” on China.
