BATTLE FOR WORLD | April 27, 2020: The US Secretary of State Michael Pompeo on April 24 revealed that Washington DC was trying to persuade the governments of other countries that Beijing had allegedly concealed some information regarding the novel coronavirus and was the main cause of the virus outbreak.

The United States will fail to gather support to create an international coalition it would relentlessly push with the hopes of demanding from China compensation for the effects of the coronavirus pandemic, because Washington DC’s allies are reluctant to spoil relations with Beijing, according to the research director of the international discussion club Valdai, Fyodor Lukyanov, told TASS on Monday (April 27). And failing in this the United States would start a trend to file lawsuits against China seeking compensations for the effects of the pandemic.

The White House hopes that its rhetoric will relieve it of the responsibility for the grave effects of the crisis on the United States and put the blame on its external adversary, China.

Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Geng Shuang said that US politicians should stop making irresponsible statements and focus on the real enemy, the coronavirus, and not China. The comment was made after US President Donald Trump warned that China might face consequences, if it was proven that it had intentionally permitted an outbreak of the novel coronavirus.
