Left-of-center Yahoo News is among the news outlets that have spotlighted a video from right-of-center Fox News interview with White House Trade Adviser Peter Navarro.
India is one of the nations that is pushing for Chinese accountability in their purported mishandling of the Wuhan Coronavirus pandemic, also known as COVID19, and the CCP Virus among other names. So, it is no surprise that the Times of India is among the news outlets that are carefully watching President Donald Trump and his statements about the contagion.
“China’s secrecy, deception, and cover-up allowed it to spread all over the world, 189 countries and China must be held fully accountable,” said President Trump in quoting the line spotlighted by Fox News and reported by the Times of India, Yahoo, right-of-center Breitbart and others.
China has denied U.S. and other nation’s who claim they are covering up. “China was the first country to report the Covid-19 to the World Health Organisation (WHO), (and) that doesn’t mean and we’ll never allow any concealment,” Chinese foreign spokesman Zhao Lijian said in April, as the Times of India reminded their readers.
With the death toll and trillions in economic impact at home and abroad rising, it is unlikely that the concerns about the origins of the coronavirus will dissipate any time soon. Among the top read reports for weeks on MHProNews and our MHLivingNews sister-site are those directly tied to the pandemic. That also includes reports that link it to Bill Gates, long-time business associate of Warren Buffett who Berkshire Hathaway business units and nonprofit activities have a well-documented commanding impact on affordable manufactured housing.
There are other signals coming from Washington, D.C. that may indicate that the Trump Administration may do more than just focus on China. But this evening’s market report is on the latest that has drawn the attention of mainstream media from across the left-right divide, based upon statements made by Peter Navarro to Fox News.
That featured focus is found beyond the left-right media bullet headline snapshot for tonight, this evening’s quotable quotes, and 2 of the 3 market summary graphics at the closing bell. The manufactured housing connected stocks graphic at the close today are found beyond the featured focus and related report links.

Where Business, Politics and Investing Can Meet
White House Trade Adviser Peter Navarro stated to Fox News reporter Trace Gallagher that President Trump will take “a series of actions taken over the next several weeks that will hold China accountable for the damage that it’s doing to the American people.”
Gallagher asked Navarro, when will the finger pointing stop and the consequences start?
Navarro said in reply that some historical context was necessary to understand “what can and should be done.” He continued by saying that for 20 years China has cheated in trade. As a result, “millions and millions of jobs” in America were lost. Navarro said that “President Trump was the first president to stand up to that.”
He continued by saying that one of the ways he has defended against that is through tough tariff policies.
“So, we’ve got China cheats and Americans lose their jobs.” Navarro continued by saying that “In this case we have the Chinese Communist Party lying.” The trade advisor then notes the timeline from November, when they first spawned the virus, to hiding in December and then sending it around the world through travelers from China. Specifically, an insight reported in the article linked below indicates that the virus may well have been spreading weeks before the previously reported November 2019 date.
That largely, but doesn’t specifically relate to all of the latest known information about the timeline.
That report linked above should be considered in discerning Navarro’s narrative.
“We’ve got a lot of anger, anxiety and fear because of the China Virus” Navarro tells Gallagher. He says that anger is being directed against each other, meaning, by one American against another. “This is not a domestic battle” he said.
Once more, by way of objective critique that statement is questionable as the report linked above and below indicate.
It is China, “the Chinese Communist Party [CCP] that is doing this to us.”
Navarro then raises the troubling subject of Hong Kong, which he said that China has used for years to “exploit our financial markets and steal our jobs.” The Trump trade adviser reminded Gallagher and viewers that the president has already said that all preferential treatment of Hong Kong will be stripped away.
That process, it should be noted, is beginning, according to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in remarks that are not a part of this Fox News video. Navarro said that was part of their effort to stand up for the people of Hong Kong, who have recently been stripped of rights by mainland Chinese communists.
“The trade deal remains intact,” but Navarro said, “we’re watching very, very carefully to see whether they fulfill the items there. And, to be honest, right now, the purchases are lagging, but we believe that they will catch up by the end of the year if they keep their word. But this is — Trace, this is about a lot more. You know, that trade deal wasn’t really a trade deal. It was about getting China to stop stealing our intellectual property, forcing technology transfer, things like that. And we know now, that, even as we speak, they’re trying to steal the intellectual property for vaccine development for the China virus. So, again, I don’t want to get ahead of the president or the chief of staff, but there will be a series of actions taken over the next several weeks that will hold China accountable for the damage that it’s doing to the American people.”
Navarro also stated that China is waging information warfare against this country. Gallagher pressed him on a prior statement that the trade deal was “over,” and Navarro said that trust in China is over, and that it is now a case of trust but verify.
MHProNews Analysis and Commentary
The video, against the backdrop of prior MHProNews reporting, is instructive on several levels.
First, by accident or design, Navarro was largely but not completely correct in his statements to Fox News. That might be explained by time constraints or other benign reasons, but it may also be because he is stressing the Trump Administration’s narrative.
Second, it should be recalled that long before becoming president, Mr. Trump’s “Art of the Deal” provides insights into how he approaches issues that could well include this massive and vexing ‘perfect storm’ of issues that are harming the U.S.
Third, the president and his team weave from diplomatic niceties and polite language with respect to Chinese Communists all the way over to tough talk, such as what Navarro said on 7.6.2020, or the president himself said at the opening clip of the video posted in this report.
It is not only campaign season, but it is get the economy going against time. While millions are fearful due to rising case counts and hospitalizations, there are medical and other experts who are saying that the death toll from COVID19 per capita is falling. Objectively that is born out by the data at this time, but it is also subject to question. Will the spike in cases reveal in 2 or 3 weeks that the percentage of death toll rose as well?
Time will tell.
There are those who have stressed that the virus has been politicized and that hyping the virus’ harm includes medical experts.
Numbers of Democrats are pushing to slow or reverse the process of re-opening the economy. But there are those who say that it is simply not sustainable economically nor fair to smaller businesses to reclose. That despite the fact that some mayors have themselves tied some of the harm caused by the Wuhan Virus with the unrest that is occurring in the streets.
Meanwhile, several in the billionaire class is laughing all the way to the bank. They also are routinely anti-Trump billionaires. Is that a coincidence?
The late William Proxmire’s statement ought to be kept in mind.
So too is the old adage, that the first casualty of war is the truth. Given that both sides of the mainstream political aisle are trying to spin to fit their narrative, professionals and other researchers are wise to double check claims and look to deeper dive reports for more precise insights, such as those found in the linked reports below.
Programming notice: the second report linked below has surged to the top spot, ICYMI, check it out.
