U.S. executives from the hotel and travel industry called for a potential $250 billion aid package during a meeting with President Donald Trump on March 17, amid mounting fears of large-scale job cuts due to the CCP virus outbreak.

The Epoch Times refers to the novel coronavirus, which causes the disease COVID-19, as the CCP virus because the Chinese Communist Party’s coverup and mismanagement allowed the virus to spread throughout China and create a global pandemic.
