Reading now: 989
The G7 didn’t issue a statement on coronavirus this week because the United States insisted on calling it the ‘Wuhan virus’, it has been reported.
The US, which currently holds the presidency of the group of international leaders, circulated a 12-page draft statement following a virtual meeting of foreign ministers about Covid-19.
But the proposed statement referred to the disease as the “Wuhan virus” and reportedly blamed China for the spread of the virus.
A European Diplomat told CNN: “What the [US] State Department has suggested is a red line. You cannot agree with this branding of this virus and trying to communicate this." Rather than deliver a joint statement, several member states have since put out individual statements.
