  • 4 years ago
US President Donald Trump said on Thursday he was confident the coronavirus may have originated in a Chinese virology lab, but declined to describe the evidence.

When asked if he had seen evidence that gave him a "high degree of confidence" the virus came from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, Trump said he had seen evidence but declined to give specifics saying that he wasn't allowed to.

The Wuhan Institute of Virology has dismissed the allegations, and other US officials have downplayed their likelihood.
