NEW YORK -- During a 43-minute virtual town hall meeting on Sunday night, U.S. President Donald Trump mentioned China more than 40 times, as he renewed his attack on the Asian country for mishandling the initial steps in the coronavirus outbreak.

"This should have been stopped in China. It should have been stopped," Trump said, while seated in Washington's Lincoln Memorial during a streaming event hosted by Fox News.
