President Donald Trump slammed NBA coaches Steve Kerr and Gregg Popovich for dodging questions about China amid the escalating spat between the communist-run country and the U.S. professional basketball league.

“I watch this guy Steve Kerr. He was like a little boy, he was so scared to be answering the question, he couldn’t answer the question, he was shaking, ‘I don’t know,’ he didn’t know how to answer the question, and yet he'll talk about the United States very badly.”
