In the United States, there is growing confidence that the COVID-19 was actually generated in a Wuhan lab as part of China’s ploy to compete with the United States.

Intelligence sources have disclosed that COVID-19 was not developed as a bioweapon but instead as part of China’s attempt to demonstrate that it can combat viruses in an equal or greater capability than the United States can.

One source argued that this might be the “costliest government cover-up of all time.”

Sources inform that the transmission was bat-to-human, and they argue that “patient zero” also worked at the laboratory, which translated into coming to contact with Wuhan’s population.

In a briefing this week, President Trump explained that “more and more we’re hearing the story… we are doing a very thorough examination of this horrible situation that happened.”

He also informed that the government will be investigating whether this is in fact true.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo added that Beijing “needs to come clean” on any information they might have regarding the matter.

When asked if he had brought this up when speaking with Chinese President Xi Jinping, President Trump stated, “I don’t want to discuss what I talked to him about the laboratory, I just don’t want to discuss” because “it’s inappropriate right now.”
