White House trade adviser Peter Navarro said the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has hoarded personal protective equipment (PPE) and is profiting from the pandemic.

“First of all, the virus was spawned in China. Second of all, they hid the virus behind the shield of the World Health Organization (WHO). The third thing they did was basically hoard personal protective equipment and now they’re profiteering from it,” Navarro said in an interview with Fox News on Sunday.
