Washington: Former US President Donald Trump is demanding that Beijing cough up $10 trillion to the world for its role in causing the coronavirus pandemic amid growing scrutiny on how much infectious disease pundit Anthony Fauci knew about work being done at Wuhan Institute of Virology.
Asserting that he had made the “biggest bet in history” by ordering billions of dollars worth of vaccines without even realising it would work and saved millions of lives, Trump said in a statement that “China should pay 10 trillion dollars to US & world for death & destruction they have caused.”
“Now everyone, even socalled ‘enemy’, are beginning to say that President Trump was right about China virus coming from Wuhan Lab,” he said, as expert opinion is veering around in recent days to the virus being the handiwork of the Wuhan lab with inadvertent funding from the US.
“There are a lot of questions that must be answered by Dr. Fauci. The funding of Wuhan by the US was foolishly started by the Obama administration in 2014 but ended under Trump administration. When I heard about it, I said ‘no way’. What did Dr. Fauci know about ‘gain of function’ research, and when did he know it?” Trump asked in a blistering attack.
