Trump says he has “high confidence” Covid-19 originated in Wuhan lab
US President Donald Trump told reporters he believes Covid-19 originated from the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China, declining to elaborate why, after US intelligence said it believes the virus was natural in origin.
Asked on Thursday if he had a “high degree of confidence” that the coronavirus originated from the laboratory, Trump replied “Yes, I have.”
“I can’t tell you that. I’m not allowed to tell you that,” was his response to reporters who asked on what basis he was making that judgment.
