On Tuesday, US president Donald Trump controversially labeled the coronavirus as the ‘Chinese Virus’ in a tweet, triggering another backlash as the two nations continue to clash over the origin of the virus outbreak. Instead of calling the disease by its designated name –COVID-19, Trump’s tweet seems to be putting the entire blame on China, as the world struggles to deal with the pandemic.
Kind quick reminder: viruses have no nationality.

“The United States will be powerfully supporting those industries, like Airlines and others, that are particularly affected by the Chinese Virus. We will be stronger than ever before!” he wrote.
