China News Service, April 27, according to the Chinese website of the United States, the US "Wall Street Journal" previously quoted sources as saying that Trump administration officials have discussed the replacement of Health Minister Alex Aza, because the latter was in the early stage of the outbreak The response should be criticized. In this regard, US President Trump clarified on social media that this is fake news.
The picture is taken from the US President Trump social media account.
The report said that Trump said on social media that "the report that the Minister of Health will be" fired "by me is fake news." He also pointed out, "The lame media knows this, but they are eager to create a sense of confusion and destruction in the public's mind. They have never even called to inquire. Alex has done a great job!"
The Wall Street Journal previously reported that sources said that although the United States expressed concern about the adjustment of the health ministry during the epidemic, they did notice that the frustration with Azza has increased in recent weeks. However, officials did not indicate to the "Wall Street Journal" whether personnel changes are imminent.
Earlier this month, Trump posted on social media that Aza "till not tell me things until later" in response to questions about why the president did not take action to deal with the outbreak earlier.
The US "Political News" listed potential candidates to replace Aza, including the White House New Crown Virus Working Group coordinator Deborah Burkes, the head of medical insurance, Sima Verma, and the Deputy Secretary of Health Eric Hagen.
Subsequently, White House spokesman Judd Deere denied that any kind of dismissal would occur. "Under Aza's leadership, the Ministry of Health will continue to play a leading role in the President's set of priorities."
Deere told the Wall Street Journal, "Any guesses about personnel are irresponsible and will interfere with the federal government's response to the new crown epidemic."
