Remarks by President Trump Before Air Force One Departure | Feb. 18, 2020 | Joint Base Andrews, MD
Quote:Q Mr. President, are you still satisfied with how President Xi is handling the coronavirus?
THE PRESIDENT: I think President Xi is working very hard. As you know, I spoke with him recently. He’s working really hard. It’s a tough problem. I think he’s going to do — look, I’ve seen them build hospitals in a short period of time. I really believe he wants to get that done, and he wants to get it done fast. Yes, I think he’s doing it very professionally.
We’re also working with him and helping him, as of the last few days, as you know.
Q Some people don’t seem to trust the data coming out of China. Are you worried about that?
THE PRESIDENT: Look, I know this: President Xi loves the people of China, he loves his country, and he’s doing a very good job with a very, very tough situation.
