Fox News
White House chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci, who early on in the coronavirus pandemic opposed a travel ban on China and praised their transparency, on Tuesday criticized former President Donald Trump for not pushing the country harder for more information on the outbreak.
"We didn't get good eyes on what was going on until late. Should we have been more aggressive with China and put their feet to the fire? I mean, obviously, history has told us that the president was not interested in doing that," Fauci said of Trump. "He was complimenting them on what a good job they were doing." Hoover Institution Senior Fellow Dr. Scott Atlas gives reaction and analysis on 'Hannity' Trump announced his travel ban on China in late January, and it was enacted Feb. 2. Chinese President Xi Jinping had waited until Jan. 20 to publicly acknowledge the virus, despite the fact that hospitalizations were occurring as early as Jan. 4.More Related News
