China allowed COVID-19 to spread around world, says Trump

TIL Desk/World/Washington/ Terming the COVID-19 outbreak as a ‘horrible situation’, United States President Donald Trump hit out at China for allowing COVID-19 to spread outside Beijing while preventing the spread in its own country.

“We came together and what happened was that we then got hit by the plague (COVID-19). We were really coming together and then we got hit by this horrible situation–it could have been stopped.

China stopped it from going into the rest of China but they did not stop it from coming out and going to Europe, the United States and the rest of the world,” Trump said in Iowa at an election rally.

“We are now putting it together. We had it done and now we are doing it again and next year we will be stronger. This coming year will be even better,” he said.

The US president further hit out at the former Vice President and Democratic Presedential nominee Joe Biden for supporting China’s entry into the World Trade Organisation, stating that it was a “catastrophe for our nation”.
