WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump on Thursday threatened new tariffs against Beijing after claiming there is evidence linking the coronavirus to a lab in China's ground-zero city of Wuhan.
"We'll be able to get a very powerful definition of what happened," he said, adding that a report would be made to him"in the not too distant future."But even as the issue remains under probe, Trump said he already has suspicions. The US intelligence community said Thursday it had concluded that the novel coronavirus originated in China but was not man-made or engineered.
Regardless of where blame lies for the outbreak, Trump is ramping up a war of words with Beijing, claiming again on Thursday that"China doesn't want to see me reelected."
