Coronavirus: Trump asks Asian journalist to ask China – 20 minutes
“Ask China this question!” This is how the President of the United States responded to Weijia Jiang, an American journalist of Chinese origin, who asked him about his management of the coronavirus crisis. CBS reporter asked him why he was touting the US capabilities of
Covid-19 screening comparing them to other countries, as if it were an international competition. Donald Trump replied, “This may be a question you should ask China. Don’t ask me, ask China. “
“Why are you telling me this specifically to me?” Asked Weijia Jiang. Donald Trump then called his question “nasty”, before proposing to a CNN journalist to ask him another question. He eventually changed his mind and left the press conference quickly.
