WASHINGTON—House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) says President Donald Trump’s criticism of China for the pandemic is an attempt to divert attention from domestic issues.

“What the president is saying about China is interesting. It’s an interesting diversion,” she said at a May 14 press conference, in response to a question by The Epoch Times about whether the regime in Beijing should be held accountable for the delayed COVID-19 response.
