US President Donald Trump suggested on Monday that he may seek damages from China over the coronavirus outbreak which began in the Chinese city of Wuhan and spread around the world.
"We're doing very serious investigations ... We are not happy with China," Trump said at a White House news conference. "There are a lot of ways you can hold them accountable."
"We believe it could have been stopped at the source. It could have been stopped quickly and it wouldn't have spread all over the world."
Mr Trump was asked about a recent German newspaper editorial that called on Beijing to pay Berlin $165 billion (Dh606.06bn) because of economic damage caused by the virus.
"We can do something much easier than that," he said.
"Germany is looking at things, we are looking at things. We are talking about a lot more money than Germany's talking about.
"We haven't determined the final amount yet. It's very substantial.
"This is worldwide damage. This is damage to the US, but this is damage to the world."
There have been more than 56,000 coronavirus-related deaths in the US and the pandemic has shut down huge parts of the economy, leaving tens of millions unemployed.
Trump's criticism was the latest from his administration to target China's handling of the coronavirus outbreak, which began late last year in the Chinese city of Wuhan and has grown into a global pandemic.
