The United States is working with a few other countries to make them understand that the Coronavirus originated in Wuhan, China.
The US behind China to find the exact origin of the virus
A couple of days ago, US Prez Donald Trump said that the country could be investigating the possibility that the virus could have originated in a Wuhan Lab. China retaliated saying the World Health Organization did not have evidence that the virus originated in a lab. WHO backed up China’s statement saying they did not have evidence to prove the origin of the virus in a lab.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo talks about the issue
In an interview with The Ben Shapiro Show on Friday, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said:
“Diplomatically, we’re reaching out to countries all across the world to help them do the right thing, to help their economies get started back up, to make sure that when the time is right we can get international travel kicked back up so that global commerce can recommence.“
He added:
“If you get demand back up, that will matter an awful lot to workers right here in the United States of America. We are also working with those countries to make sure they understand that this was, in fact, a virus that originated in Wuhan, China, that the Chinese government knew about this certainly by December of 2019.“
He further alleged about China mishandling the issue:
“They (China) failed to comply with their most fundamental obligations as a nation, and importantly, too, failed to comply with the international health regulations of the World Health Organization and then did a lot of things and we can talk about them at great length to cover that up.“
He finished off, saying:
“Those are the kinds of things that the US needs to address.“
