US will have ‘definitive’ report on Covid-19 origins, Trump says, after pushing ‘Wuhan lab’ theory
The US will report “very definitively” on the origins of the Covid-19 virus over time, President Donald Trump has said without any further details. Washington has been claiming it came from a Chinese lab, but provided no evidence.
“We will be reporting very definitively over a period of time,” Trump told reporters at the White House on Tuesday.
Trump said last week that he had a “high degree of confidence” that the novel coronavirus originated from a laboratory in Wuhan, but he has not offered any evidence publicly to back up the claim.
