On Friday, The President of the United States said he’s terminating the country’s relationship with the World Health Organization, claiming that China has dominance over it. President Trump announced he’s suspending the entry of certain Chinese Nationals and sanctioning their officials who have eroded Hong Kong’s freedom.
President Trump for weeks has expressed frustration with China, blaming the communist country and in part the World Health Organization for the spread of the deadly virus that has left more than 100,000 dead in the United States.
But he hasn’t always been so harsh on China. In the early days of the pandemic, the president praised Chinese President Xi Jinping for his handling of the coronavirus pandemic.
“China has been working very hard to contain the Coronavirus,” the president tweeted on January 24. “The United States greatly appreciates their efforts and transparency. It will all work out well. In particular, on behalf of the American People, I want to thank President Xi!”
His tuned changed as time went by and as the virus’ devastation swept the country.
President Trump took no questions Friday, despite the long list of national news stories in the news conference that was billed by White House.
Trump’s appearance came after a unpleasant night in Minneapolis, where a police station was set on fire during protests over of the death of a citizen, George Floyd, a handcuffed black man in Minneapolis captured on video pleading for air as a white police officer kneeled on his neck. Not long before Trump’s speech, the officer was arrested and charged with third-degree murder.
He tweeted in the early morning Friday that “when the looting starts, the shooting starts,” a phrase with a very serious racial and historical undertones.
Twitter labeled that tweet with a note: “This Tweet violated the Twitter Rules about glorifying violence. However, Twitter has determined that it may be in the public’s interest for the Tweet to remain accessible.”
Trump in a later tweet clarified on Friday, writing “looting leads to shooting” and referencing a deadly shooting in Minneapolis on Wednesday night and the seven people shot at a separate demonstration in Kentucky, Louisville, over the death of Breonna Taylor. “It’s very simple, nobody should have any problem with this other than the haters, and those looking to cause trouble on social media,” Mr. Trump concluded.
On Thursday, President Trump contemplating whether he would stay in the US-China trade deal. On Friday, Trump tweeted “CHINA” without explanation. He had concluded in holding China responsible for the coronavirus pandemic in some way.
Walz said in a news conference on Friday that the tweet made by President Trump are “not helpful.”
Meanwhile, the deaths from the deadly virus continue to increase, with the U.S. passing the grim milestone of 100,000 deaths.
