'Numbers seem to be a little bit on the light side', says US president. FMTNews Trump
President Donald Trump speaks about the coronavirus at the White House as Vice-President Mike Pence listens.
The coronavirus outbreak began in China in late 2019 but Beijing has reported fewer cases and deaths than in the United States, which now has the world’s largest outbreak, with 214,000 confirmed cases and 4,800 deaths. Trump said he had discussed how China had dealt with the coronavirus outbreak in a phone call with Chinese President Xi Jinping last Friday, but “not so much the numbers”.
Trump’s national security adviser, Robert O’Brien, told the same briefing Washington was “just not the position to confirm any of the numbers that are coming out of China.”
