WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump said on April 29 he believes the Chinese regime’s handling of the CCP virus is proof that Beijing “will do anything they can” to make him lose his re-election bid in November.

In an interview with Reuters in the Oval Office, Trump talked tough on the Chinese regime and said he was looking at different options in terms of consequences for Beijing over the virus. “I can do a lot,” he said.
