“It’s going to be — it’s going to be done in a very short period of time. Could even have it during the month of October,” Trump said about the coronavirus vaccine.
In a fresh verbal attack on China during a wide-ranging press conference at the White House on Monday, US President Donald Trump reiterated his belief that the coronavirus pandemic is largely under control in the United States with the fatality rate “reduced 85 percent since April”. He also stressed that under his leadership aCovid-19 vaccine would be produced by Americain “record time” and the country was “witnessing the fastest labor market recovery from an economic crisis in history.”
“It’s going to be — it’s going to be done in a very short period of time. Could even have it during the month of October,” the US President said about the coronavirus vaccine.
“Contrary to all of the lies, the vaccine — they’re political lies, they’ll say anything, and it’s so dangerous for our country, what they say — but the vaccine will be very safe and very effective and it’ll be delivered very soon. You could have a very big surprise coming up and I’m sure you’ll be very happy, the people will be happy, the people of the world will be very happy,” he added.
He also accused his Democratic opponent, Joe Biden, who leads in most opinion polls, of being soft toward Beijing.
“If Biden wins, China wins, because China will own this country,” Trump said.
Biden, on the other hand, has criticized Trump’s Phase 1 trade deal with China, saying it is “unenforceable,” and “full of vague, weak, and recycled commitments from Beijing.”
