Earlier, U.S. President Donald trump said that the situation with the pandemic COVID-19 to the United States is worse than the attack on the military base at pearl Harbor in 1941 and the terrorist attack of 11 September 2001.

"If the United States declares that a pandemic COVID-19 can be compared with the attacks on pearl Harbor and the September 11 attacks, the enemy that the US faces at this time, is a coronavirus. The U.S. should work together with China to fight the disease instead of being enemies, because only together can the international community win the fight against coronavirus infection," the diplomat said.

According to her, "sorry, we observe that some people in USA are constantly trying to put the blame on China, which, in our opinion, wrong".

Before you try to blame it on somebody, they ought to first contain the spread of coronavirus in the country, people’s lives are much more important than selfish goals, they are obliged to give the American people a clear explanation," she said.
