Trump Wants U.N. to Call Out Chinese Origins of Virus

“The Trump administration is pushing the U.N. Security Council to call attention to the Chinese origins of the coronavirus, triggering a stalemate as the global body seeks to cobble together a response to the pandemic,” NBC News reports.

“Talks among U.N. Security Council nations over a joint declaration or resolution on the coronavirus have stalled over U.S. insistence that it explicitly state that the virus originated in Wuhan, China, as well as exactly when it started there. China’s diplomats are enraged according to the diplomats, even as they seek to put their own language into the statement praising China’s efforts to contain the virus.”
