Trump wants China to pay for trillions of dollars in damages from COVID-19

Former President Donald Trump wants China to pay back the U.S. and the rest of the world for unleashing the novel coronavirus that destroyed lives and wreaked economic havoc around the globe.

Mr. Trump said he always believed the virus originated with a leak from a lab in Wuhan, China, so he was not surprised by the recent revelations from FBI Director Christopher Wray and the Department of Energy that the Chinese lab was most likely the source of COVID-19.

“It was a terrible mistake. It came from there and yeah, in some way, there should be something paid to the world,” Mr. Trump told reporters before speaking at Conservative Political Action Conference held outside Washington.

Mr. Trump estimated that the coronavirus leak cost the world $50 trillion.

“China doesn’t have that $50 trillion or anything close, but something should be done for the world by China because what they put the world through is a terrible thing,” he said.

Mr. Wray said last week federal investigators believe the COVID-19 pandemic likely started with a leak from the Wuhan lab. It was a startling reversal for Democrats and their allies who at the height of the pandemic said that blaming the lab was a conspiracy theory.

“The FBI has for quite some time now assessed that the origins of the pandemic are most likely a potential lab incident in Wuhan,” Mr. Wray told Fox News in an interview. “Here you are talking about a potential leak from a Chinese government-controlled lab.”

The issue has received a lot of attention at the CPAC where speakers have criticized President Biden and Democrats for not accepting the leak theory and for being weak on China.

トランプ前大統領は、武漢コロナウイルスによるシナの全世界への賠償金は数兆ドルになると報道陣に述べたという記事です。トランプは当初から武漢ウィルスと呼び続けてきたことを、ここにきてFBIや米エネルギー省感染対策局が、発生源は武漢という発表をしています。

日本の識者やマスコミは頭が腐っているのか親中なのか知りませんが、多くの国では『誰の責任！？』という声が主流です。誰が作ったのか、誰が蔓延させたのか、失った生命と財産の保証を誰がするのかと、『誰！？』を追及するのが当たり前で、それが分からない事には、次のパンデミックを防ぐこともままなりません。日本の医クラは目の前の対応が重要といいますが、頭が腐っているのです。

アメリカが、チャイナの資産凍結をすれば他に追従する国も出てくるでしょう。トランプが言っていた通り、対外中国資産を凍結し、それで弁済すればいいのです。まあ、間違いなく戦争に発展しますが、遅かれ早かれチャイナは世界中と戦争になります。
