COVID-19 has created a lot of stress between nations especially America and China. America's president Donald Trump has already stated that coronavirus is a bio-weapon used by China. He calls this virus as 'Wuhan virus' instead of Coronavirus. Donald Trump again targetted China on last Saturday night. He blamed China for spreading this virus over the globe and named the SARS-COV-2 virus as 'Kung flu'. 'Kung flu' is derived from the word ' Kung fu', which is a famous martial art form in China. Donald Trump addressed his speech in Oklahoma, he said " COVID-19 is deadlier than anyone the diseases of the past.

I will call it 'Kung flu'. I can give 19 other names to it. Some call it a virus, some call it the flu, it makes no difference to me. I think Coronavirus must be having 19-20 different names to it." Trump has already named coronavirus as the ' Wuhan virus' and even claimed that China knowingly did not report about the virus on time. White House counselor Kellyanne Conway on Wednesday defended President Donald Trump’s use of the phrase “Kung flu” to describe the coronavirus, reversing course after blasting the phrase weeks ago as "highly offensive." “My reaction is that the president has made very clear he wants everybody to understand, and I think many Americans do understand, that the virus originated in China,” Conway said. “And had China been more transparent and honest with the United States and the world, we wouldn't have all the death and destruction that unfortunately we've suffered.”
