According to Trump, the Chinese will face consequences if they have failed to prevent the spread of the disease, report journalists Jeff Mason and Matt Spetalnick of Reuters.

"If they made a mistake, a mistake is a mistake. But if they were knowingly responsible, there will certainly be consequences," Trump said at a press conference on Saturday (18).
