From a government that has publicly issued more than 20,000 liesaccording to the Washington Post, comes the extremist rabble-rousing statement that Pompeo can prove China weaponized a coronavirus and released it on the world from Wuhan.
Europe shuns Pompeo so SoS starts China-Mil-SARS2 rumour for attention getter as a distraction from the Trump Civil War.
Pompeo was shunned by European officials and forced to cancel a trip to Europe this week including Brussels and Luxembourg because the NATO member Luxembourg said they would not see him following the Trump coup attempt on 6 January.
Luxembourg external affairs minister, Jean Asselborn described US President Donald Trump as a “political pyromaniac who must be brought before a court” on public radio and said he was a “criminal”. This refers to the Trump-led insurrection and the five hour fall of the US elected government on 6 January 2021.

The Dutchman added in October: We will not abandon this national interest for us. It s heavily anchored in Dutch culture and we need to support Dutch fishermen at any price. So bilateral negotiations, if there is a failure, need to remain possible. It s true that we ve had 400 years of conflict with the British, but we need to do better this time.
The Netherlands relationship with the EU has steadily grown more difficult, particularly as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
The nation was accused by some inside the bloc of going against the principles of solidarity with states including Spain, after it refused to give gifts to other member states to support them through the pandemic.
