Washington is investigating the possibility of a deadly virus leaking from a Chinese laboratory funded by the Barack Obama administration.
This was announced during a briefing by the US President Donald Trump.
Right now, American experts are studying the origin of the virus, the head of the White House said in response to a question about a possible leak in Wuhan’s laboratory.
“We need to know the source of this”, – he said.
At the same time, Trump commented on the information that his predecessor Barack Obama in 2015 allocated a grant of Wuhan biolaboratory in the amount of $ 3.7 million. The President assured that he ordered to find out if there is funding. If the information is confirmed, Trump emphasized, then the financial flow will be blocked urgently.
“We will explore all the possibilities, however, as far as I know, this happened a few years ago”, – he continued.
“In 2015; I wonder who was the President then”.
As News Front reported, the artificial origin of the new type of coronavirus is one of the key versions of the American administration. In this regard, the Head of the US State Department, Michael Pompeo, even called on the Chinese leadership to allow foreign observers into the Wuhan laboratory. At the same time, the expert community is confident that Western elites are trying to relieve themselves of responsibility for such late response to the spread of infection. In particular, a list of warnings that Trump ignored appeared earlier.
