Trump made the remarks at the White House while speaking at an event with U.S. state governors.
Trump's words echoed what he wrote in a tweet on Friday, in which he said he had a phone conversation with Xi.
"[Xi] is strong, sharp and powerfully focused on leading the counterattack on the Coronavirus," the president wrote."He feels they are doing very well, even building hospitals in a matter of only days. Nothing is easy, but ... he will be successful, especially as the weather starts to warm & the virus hopefully becomes weaker, and then gone."
....he will be successful, especially as the weather starts to warm & the virus hopefully becomes weaker, and then gone. Great discipline is taking place in China, as President Xi strongly leads what will be a very successful operation. We are working closely with China to help!The president is not the only one to predict that the coronavirus would have a diminished impact by April.
reported on February 4."Our worst-case projection holds that the virus stops spreading in late May, and optimistically in March," said S&P., some medical professionals are cautious—but hopeful—that what Xi told Trump will come to pass. "It's a respiratory virus, and we know respiratory viruses are very seasonal, but not exclusively," William Schaffner, who specializes in infectious disease at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, said."One would hope that the gradual spring will help this virus recede. We can't be sure of that."
