Trump vows to end Obama-era funding for Chinese research labs

Earlier this week, reports surfaced alleging that the lab in Wuhan, China speculated to be the origin site of the novel coronavirus received funding from the Obama administration in 2015.

But according to the Daily Caller, President Donald Trump made it very clear on Saturday that if funding is still heading to China for these research labs, it will be ended.
How the virus originated

Fox News’ Bret Baier dropped a bombshell report mid-week alleging that credible evidence points to the source of the COVID-19 pandemic being a virology lab in Wuhan.

Several sources told Baier that the virus is believed to have gotten out of the lab due to lax security measures. The original virus, which is believed to naturally occur in horseshoe bats, was then transferred via human contact.

The rest, as they say, is history. It also surfaced that this particular lab was one of several labs that had, in part, been funded by a 2015 program that paid millions of U.S. dollars to Chinese research labs.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has since asked the Chinese for access to that lab to help investigate if this was, in fact, the source of the outbreak.

The Chinese regime, including the director of the lab in question, has since denied that this allegation is true, according to an AFP report.
Ending funding

Whether or not Chinese labs are still getting money for their research from American taxpayers in unknown, but we do know the funding originated while Obama was president.

President Trump, after becoming aware of the funding, stated that it will be halted if our taxpayer money is still being shipped to China for research.

“We will end the grant very quickly,” he said, according to the Daily Caller. “It was granted quite a while ago. They were granted a substantial amount of money.”

When questioned about it during Saturday’s press conference, he reiterated, “We are going to look at it and take a look. But I understand it was a number of years ago. When did you hear the grant was made?”

If it is true that the disease emanated from a lab, and China — with the help of the World Health Organization — covered the truth up, China will likely face severe consequences from members of the United Nations and even further retaliatory action from the U.S. Only time will tell what that might look like, however.

Yes, the original figures were BS, these are probably also way low but perhaps within 5 years we may know the truth.

Amen and Amen

Big Dolly

This is Big Dolly and if Donald Trump is able to end Chinese laboratory funds, then that should've been one of his very first acts the moment he got into office along with getting our out of China as well, instead of obsessing on building that stupid wall! By the way, add the money for Chinese lab funding to the funding he took from WHO and I'll bet there would be plenty of money for lots and lots coronavirus testing kits, not to mention that it's a BEAUTIFUL opportunity for Trump to play the Big Hero who's going to "Make America Great Again". Hint, hint, Mr. Trump, hint, hint.

Good idea Big Dolly but I think he can walk and chew gum at the same time. In other words end the lab funds, still build the wall and yes jobs! Also testing kits.

Vague? Try harder.

BD, U are full of rubbish. U fail to realize that a new president coming into office has millions of transaction that have gone on before he arrived. U completely, find Obama not guilty. Before U write your empty mind why not fill it will knowledge, or perhaps U have just started kindergarten. Fake knowledge is an awful affliction.
