Trump says Asian-Americans not responsible for virus, need protection

Under fire for calling the coronavirus the "Chinese virus," U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday that Asian-Americans were not responsible for spreading the disease and needed to be protected. 

"It is very important that we totally protect our Asian American community in the United States, and all around the world," the president tweeted on Monday. "They are amazing people, and the spreading of the Virus.... is NOT their fault in any way, shape, or form. They are working closely with us to get rid of it. WE WILL PREVAIL TOGETHER!"
