Aden refutes Trump: the epidemic situation in New Zealand and the United States is “not comparable”
[Global Times reporter Ren Zhong Gao Lei] AFP said on the 18th that US President trump was “unusually candid criticism” by New Zealand Prime Minister Aden for exaggerating the new crown epidemic situation of ally New Zealand. On the 17th, trump said in a speech related to his re-election campaign in Minnesota, “have you seen what happened in New Zealand? They beat the virus, as has been described in the front page news. But the problem is that New Zealand’s cases have increased dramatically. It’s terrible. We don’t want this. ” However, in fact, there were 9 new cases (13 cases on the 18th) in New Zealand on the 17th, with a total of less than 1700 cases. However, in the United States, more than 42000 new cases were confirmed in a single day on the 17th in the United States, with a total of more than 5.6 million confirmed cases. Novel coronavirus pneumonia is also compared in the British guardian, which includes 22 deaths from new crown pneumonia and 170 thousand deaths in the United States. Netizens in New Zealand and other countries also ridiculed Trump’s “five million steps laugh at 1000 steps” in the form of data. On the 18th, Aden frowned and publicly responded to trump’s comments on the epidemic situation in New Zealand. She said there was “no comparability” between New Zealand and the United States, and that US President Trump’s statement was “clearly wrong”.
