‘Coronavirus is worse than Al-qaeda 9/11 attacks, Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor’- Trump admits

US President Donald Trump has opened up that the coronavirus pandemic has been worse in the United States.

Trump admitted that the pandemic disease is worse than the 9/11 terror attacks by Al-qaeda and the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor during World War II, in America, as he continued blaming China, saying the outbreak should have been stopped over there.

Coronavirus, COVID-19 since originating from Wuhan, China has killed more than 73,000 and infected more than 1.2 million people in US.

Speaking to journalists in the Oval Office of the White House, Trump said: “We went through the worst attack we’ve ever had on our country, this is worst attack we’ve ever had.

“This is worse than Pearl Harbor, this is worse than the World Trade Center. There’s never been an attack like this.

“And it should have never happened. Could’ve been stopped at the source. Could’ve been stopped in China. It should’ve been stopped right at the source. And it wasn’t.”

Asked by a journalist if he saw the pandemic as an actual act of war caused by China, Trump said the outbreak was America’s foe, rather than China.

“I view the invisible enemy [coronavirus] as a war,” he said. “I don’t like how it got here, because it could have been stopped, but no, I view the invisible enemy like a war.” 

Trump’s White House is weighing economic sanctions against China over its handling of the deadly virus.
