US threatens to cut off relationship with China

US President Donald Trump has threatened to cut off the whole relationship with China in response to the spread of the novel coronavirus which has killed nearly 3 lakh people globally. According to Johns Hopkins University, more than 4.4 million people have been infected due to Covid-19 and over 3.01 lakh have died from the deadly infection. In an interview, US President on Thursday said, “There are many things we could do. We could cut off the whole relationship.” Donald Trump said he does not want to speak to Chinese President Xi Jinping right now. "I have a very good relationship, but I just -- right now I don't want to speak to him," Trump said, adding that he was very disappointed with China. The United States has repeatedly asked China to allow the international community to go into a Wuhan lab to investigate the origins of coronavirus. "We asked to go over and they said no. They didn't want our help. And I figured that was OK because they must know what they are doing.
