President Donald Trump’s top economic adviser Larry Kudlow said Friday that China would held accountable for the coronavirus outbreak that began in its Hubei province and has killed more than 63,000 Americans.
“They have a lot to answer for, they’re going to be held accountable,” Kudlow said on CNBC. He said that other Group of Seven countries are also concerned about the Chinese government’s transparency on the virus. “How, what, when and why” is up to the president, he said.
