Let's be blunt: this is a blatant attempt to displace the blame for mishandling the emergency. Trump needs popularity because elections are coming, he doesn't want to take the blame for his own actions, so he will blame China, the WHO, and other countries, or his own staff, if things get worse. At least the US are taking it seriously now. China and the WHO alerted the world that this wasn't a regular flu variant since before January. On a related topic, thanks to their totalitarian government, China controlled the pandemic effectively, and will recover its economy faster. The US will resort to more commercial war to level up the field.
