The foreign ministers of the G-7 countries could not agree on a joint statement this year after the US insisted on using the loaded term “Wuhan Virus” to describe the deadly virus from Wuhan.
The traditional joint statement released at the end of G-7 meetings was nixed this year.
The politically correct leaders from the seven countries along with officials from the CDC and WHO said the term “Wuhan Virus” would lead to a rise in discrimination.
Meanwhile, the death toll from the Wuhan Virus continues to climb on a daily basis and most of the G7 economies are shut down.
Via the Washington Post:
Foreign ministers representing seven major industrialized nations failed to agree on a joint statement Wednesday after the Trump administration insisted on referring to the coronavirus outbreak as the “Wuhan virus,” three officials from G-7 countries told The Washington Post…
…The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization have discouraged referring to the novel coronavirus by a geographical denomination amid concerns such terms are correlated with a rise in discrimination and targeted violence against Asian Americans…
One European official, who like others spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive negotiations, said there were multiple disagreements among the G-7 members Wednesday but acknowledged “Wuhan virus” posed the most significant obstacle. Besides viewing the term as inappropriate, some officials noted that experts could not say with absolute certainty that the virus came from Wuhan until further research is conducted.
