Trump says US may seek damages from China over Covid-19
https://www.rte.ie/news/2020/0428/11...ump-china-kim/Speaking at the White House, he suggested he may seek damages from China over the coronavirus outbreak which began in the Chinese city of Wuhan late last year and spread around the world.
Mr Trump said: "We are not happy with China, we are not happy with that whole situation because we believe it could have been stopped at the source.
"It could have been stopped quickly and it wouldn't have spread all over the world," he said.
"There are a lot of ways you can hold them accountable," Mr Trump said. "We're doing some very serious investigations as you probably know.
"We haven't determined the final amount yet," Mr Trump said. "It's very substantial."

America along with the rest of the world.https://metro.co.uk/2020/04/29/china...uiry-12625307/
An inquiry suggested by Australian PM has not been received well.
Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters said: ‘It’s very hard to conceive of there not being a desire by every country in world, including the country of origin, for an investigation to find out how this happened.'

America along with many other Western nations is in dollar debt to China. All America would need to do would be to renege on those debts which it could do by simply writing off the committment, in effect telling Chinese finance houses "F you" and the effect would be the same as China paying any bill it was presented with.But China does have huge $US reserves so it's option would be to convert it's reserve by selling its dollar reserves heavily discounted so undermining the $US value on global markets which would really screw up the American economy.
America could not put up with that.

If all those countries who are of the same opinion as Trump stick together and work together as one against China then China is screwed in my opinion, no matter how hard China fights back. Then again, every time China has felt it's back against the wall they have always threatened war. I have no doubt China will do the same here if a collective group of countries demand China answer for what happened.

So is Trump going to sue China because he treated the outbreak as a hoax during the critical time? Is he going to sue China because he ignored his own security team briefings? Is he going to sue China because injecting bleach doesn't work.Trump is a goddamn fool, all he knows is bluff and bullying. If the crazy bastard had a brain, he would take it out and play with it.
