India devastated by Covid, China must pay up: Donald Trump

Former president Donald Trump on Thursday said that India has been devastated by the coronavirus pandemic, insisting that China should pay $10 trillion to the US for allegedly being responsible for the spread of Covid-19 globally.

In an interview with Fox News, Trump said that in fact, China should pay more as compensation to the world, but this is what they have the capacity to pay.

“Look at what's going on in India now. You know, they used to say, look how well India was doing, because they were always looking for an excuse -- look how well India is doing. The fact that India has just been devastated now, and virtually, every country has been devastated,” Trump said.

Trump has been alleging that the coronavirus may have leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology in central China's Wuhan city.
