Analysis: Trump’s wobbly claim that his wall could stop the coronavirus

Trump is using the covid-19 outbreak to justify his push for a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, even though the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other public-health experts say they haven’t seen evidence it can stop the virus from spreading.

The president has been a frequent source of misinformation on the coronavirus outbreak, which the World Health Organization on Wednesday declared a global pandemic. And he regularly makes false and misleading claims about immigration and the wall. The disease is already in the United States, and experts say containment measures are needed inside the country at this stage.

The Facts

Trump claimed twice that a wall along the southern border would help mitigate the coronavirus from spreading in the United States, first at a campaign rally and then in a tweet quoting a right-wing activist, who wrote: “Now, more than ever, we need the wall. With China Virus spreading across the globe, the US stands a chance if we can control of our borders.”

But none of the coronavirus cases reported in the United States have been linked to people who entered through the U.S.-Mexico border. According to U.S. officials and experts, travelers who arrived on airplanes and cruise ships contracted the virus overseas and began to spread it after entering the country. On Wednesday, the Trump administration announced a ban on foreign travelers from most of Europe for 30 days, following previous restrictions on travel from China and Iran.
