Senators introduced legislation on May 12 that would authorize President Donald Trump to impose sanctions on China if the communist regime fails to provide a “full accounting” of what led to the CCP virus pandemic.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), a close ally of Trump, proposed the COVID-19 Accountability Act on Tuesday, after stating last month that the Chinese regime is “the largest state sponsor of pandemics,” and should face punishment for its role in the global unleashing of COVID-19.
