WASHINGTON (AP) There's one thing the Trump administration wants Americans to remember about the coronavirus pandemic: It carries the "Made in China label.
Trump administration officials, on the defensive about their own handling of the virus, have repeatedly reminded people that the virus started in Wuhan, a city in China's Hubei province, with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo referring to it as the Wuhan coronavirus.
President Donald Trump's national security adviser, Robert O'Brien, went even further on Wednesday.
Unfortunately, rather than using best practices, this outbreak in Wuhan was covered up," O'Brien said at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative-leaning think tank in Washington. "There's lots of open-source reporting from China, from Chinese nationals, that the doctors involved were either silenced or put in isolation, or that sort of thing, so that the word of this virus could not get out. It probably cost the world community two months."
