Coronavirus: Trump asks Asian journalist to ask China - 20 Minutes
"Ask China this question!" This is how the President of the United States responded to Weijia Jiang, an American journalist of Chinese origin, who asked him about his management of the coronavirus crisis. The CBS reporter asked him why he was touting America's Covid-19 screening capabilities by comparing them to other countries, as if it were an international competition. Donald Trump replied, "This may be a question you should ask China. Don't ask me, ask China. "
"Why are you telling me this specifically to me?" Asked Weijia Jiang. Donald Trump then called his question "nasty", before proposing to a CNN journalist to ask him another question. He eventually changed his mind and left the press conference hurriedly.
The President accuses China of not managing the coronavirus epidemic that started in Wuhan at the end of 2019 and which caused tens of thousands of deaths and millions of job losses in the United States.
