United States President Donald Trump has said that he is confident about Covid-19 being originated from a virology lab in Wuhan.
AFP reported data that showed the United States shed more than 30 million jobs in six weeks, as lockdown measures began to bite across the nation, so Trump suggests that it is a plan to hurt the US economy.
The gloom in the world’s largest economy found its parallel across the Atlantic, where experts warned of an unprecedented financial catastrophe in Europe.
The outbreak of the novel coronavirus has so far killed more than 230,000 people and forced more than half of humanity to live under some kind of lockdown, which has crippled economies.
The virus is believed to have originated late last year in a market in the Chinese city of Wuhan that sold wild animals for human consumption, but speculation has swirled about a top-secret lab in the ground-zero city.
Trump was asked if he had seen anything giving him a high degree of confidence that the Wuhan Institute of Virology was the source of the outbreak and he confirmed but wasn't keen on sharing with the White House reporters, the source of his information.
Trump is increasingly making Beijing’s handling of the outbreak a major issue for his November re-election campaign.
Despite a truce in the long-running trade war between Washington and Beijing reached in January, tariffs are already in place on two-thirds of trade between the economic powers.
American scientists reported positive tests for an improved treatment, and with deaths and infections starting to drop in some hotspots, countries looked at the next phase in their plans to lift crippling lockdown measures.
