U.S. President Donald Trump offered China 'any help that is necessary' to control a coronavirus outbreak in the central city of Wuhan that has killed 81 people.
Shanghai - President Donald Trump offered China "any help that is necessary" on Monday to control a coronavirus outbreak in the central city of Wuhan that has killed 81 people and left tens of millions stranded during the biggest holiday of the year.
Chinese Premier Li Keqiang will "inspect and direct" efforts to control the outbreak and promised reinforcements, state media said, as provincial authorities faced accusations from the public of a failure to respond in time. World shares slipped to their lowest in two weeks as worries grew about the economic impact of the virus after China, the world's second-biggest economy, ramped up travel bans and extended the Lunar New Year holidays.
"We are in very close communication with China concerning the virus," Trump, who waged a bruising 18 month trade war with Beijing, said in a tweet. "Very few cases reported in USA, but strongly on watch. We have offered China and President Xi any help that is necessary. Our experts are extraordinary!"
