‘I can do a lot’: Trump threatens China with consequences for Covid-19 & seeking to ‘undermine’ his re-election
US President Donald Trump believes China “will do anything they can” to make him lose his re-election bid in November, pointing to Beijing's handling of the coronavirus outbreak that has killed over 60,000 Americans already.
Taking aim at Beijing, Trump told Reuters in an interview on Wednesday that the country would prefer to see his Democratic rival Joe Biden take the Oval Office in November, stating it would pull out all the stops to see him win – though the former VP would first need to secure his party’s nomination.
China will do anything they can to have me lose this race.
The president has ramped up attacks on China in recent weeks, insisting it concealed information about the coronavirus in the early stages of the outbreak and has all but blamed the country for the health crisis. Asked whether he would use tariffs or debt write-offs to penalize Beijing, Trump refused to offer much detail, saying only that “we’re looking for what happened” and how to respond to the alleged "cover-up."
