President Donald Trump said Thursday he would hold a news conference on China on Friday, but he offered no details as to what he would say. Even without any details, Trumps announcement Thursday at the White House was enough to send markets tumbling. For weeks, the Trump administration has been ratcheting up pressure on Beijing over its alleged cover-up of early coronavirus cases. Trump has publicly blamed China for the virus itself and for its outsized severity in the United States.
The UK is now offering a visa and a path to citizenship to 3m Hong Kongers - almost half the population.
Yes, you are absolutely correct.
Trump just made it open and official, which is indeed long overdue.
Love it, when Lou does cartwheels!
“Now UP 80”
The interesting part will be looking later at what sectors went up, and which went down.
Trump is flooding the zone. The presstitutes are becoming overwhelmed.
The top story is COVID-19. No, no, it’s George Floyd. No, it’s near-war with China. No, it’s the next stack of declassified documents.....
In the words of legendary Pittsburgh sportscaster Mike Lange, they don’t know whether to cry or wind their watch.
Trump is terminating all US funding of the WHO world health Organization!!!....Yes! Yes! Yes!
He sure is a loon! So is the mayor of Chicago.
Will be interesting to see how they react.
He will expel all Chinese graduate students in response to the Hong Kong abrogation.
That should have been done 30 years ago, but it will still create quite the kerfuffle.
China has a Jack high pair of treys. That’s it.
I don’t have it on but I bet they are so unglued like never before. Good for him!!!
Any of yinz who want to have some fun, go to YouTube and start flagging every video of a Mayor or Governor mask-scolding as that now violates WHO policy.
Not sure how they can accomplish that.....the protests aren’t working very well....and I saw video of Chinese officers gathering up students....probably to re-educate them.
Absolutely!!
Love. My. President!!
President Trumps stand against Xis China is the moment he assumed ‘the title of the Leader of the Free World’.....
And to think that there were some FReepers on these threads who didn’t think Trump was serious about his threats to the WHO.
One thing about Trump is that he always gives his foes a way to back off and save face.
It’s their fault they’re too stupid or corrupt to take Trump’s deal.
Gotta admit, I sent a frantic message to the White House the night Tucker Carlson reported that Trump was going to start funding the WHO again.
That must have been a disinfo leak from some #RESIST type.
Taiwan next????
Actually he said only those Chinese grad students associated with Chinese military or intelligence programs and who might steal secrets/technology will be expelled (i.e. denied visas).
They’re certainly sabre rattling on that.
