US President Donald Trump has said he is “a little upset” with China over its late sharing of information on the outbreak of the deadly coronavirus and refusing to accept a visit by American medical experts to the country “out of pride”. “They should have told us about this,” Trump told reporters at a Press conference in the White House on Sunday during a briefing on his administration’s coronavirus response.
“I’m a little upset with China. I’ll be honest with you, because as much as I like (Chinese) President Xi (Jinping) and as much as I respect and admire the country,” he said. There are now 31,057 confirmed cases across the US, with 390 deaths. New York state has become the epicentre of the outbreak in the US and accounts for almost half of the country’s cases. Trump said soon after he received information about the spread of the deadly viral infection in China, he wanted to send US medical team there. However, China did not allow.
