United States President Donald Trump has rejected a media report that US intelligence agencies have warned him from the start about the dangers of the new coronavirus. The secret services had confirmed to him that they only brought up the subject in late January, Trump wrote Sunday night (local time) on Twitter. Even then, they would have only posed the problem in an “unhealthy way.” That was shortly before his immigration arrest for foreigners from China in late January, which saved “tens of thousands of lives.” The “fake news” media was “as always” wrong, the President of the United States wrote.

The Washington Post reported last Monday that US intelligence agencies. USA They had warned of the crown virus more than a dozen times in their daily reports written to the President in January and February. The virus was first mentioned in early January. Trump regularly refrains from reading the reports and occasionally shows little patience with the oral information provided two or three times a week.

Trump had initially reduced the risk of the virus. He repeatedly rejected accusations that he reacted too late to the threat. According to an overview from Johns Hopkins University, as of May 3, more than 1.15 million infections have been confirmed in the United States, just under a third of all known infections worldwide. University scientists have recorded more than 67,000 deaths in the United States.
