The UN secretary-general told world leaders they have failed to fight the coronavirus – preferring to trade words rather than unite in the face of the pandemic.
Antonio Guterres was speaking as representatives from the United States and China were involved in angry exchanges at a session of the Security Council over who was responsible.

Im gonna call it now, the un is gonna break, with leaders such as trump leaving it or leaders such as putin will bascially ignore it. At this point its basically toothless. Why bother anymore
It seems us spreaded virus, which trump tries every single time to play a blame game by accusing china on media.
Wow… The world really is falling apart.
Americans don’t like it when their hypocrisy is exposed on any level.
Americans don’t like it when their hypocrisy is exposed on any level.
(you had omitted a word)
Welcome to the Age of Aquarius. 🙄
Why suddenly Trump look’s abnormal.
He has always looked like a freak.
The world would be a better place without UN and all their globalist tentacles…UN = humanity cancer
U fool. U failed big time on basic history course. Without UN, the world is total anarchy. Ancient past down to WW1 & WW2 has showed us all. U must be busy on ur video games all time.
UN, WHO should move to China.😂😂😂
United fools
As an American I’m ashamed of the President and the Americans who support him are not capable of serious critical thinking.
Well they support him because democrats have been blaming white people for things ang he took on the oppurtunity and won their votes. It is genius actually how he won the US election. And democrats never learned anything
As an American I’m disgusted by Kelly Craft thinking she has any moral high ground to be disgusted when she supports the immoral crook who is our President.
Yeah, same here man by the looks of her hypocrisy stage behavior all the same rhetoric bossing around when they are not, to make appear to be so others thinks they are above the laws. Representative for the Carlyle group and Fed Co.
he have no right to be mad at UN.
Death to evil CCP China. Trump 2020. USA 👍👍👍💪💪💪
COVID-19 is a hoax! 💯 Now you can see the UN New World Order officially taking charge. Folks, it is one clan evil elite ruling all! No to masks! No to totalitarianism!
Virus technically started in China so technically it’s their fault.
Are you that stupid? China already said that virus did not come from them.
All hail the Dear Leader! I worship the ground he walks on! No one should ever choose to defer him!
Chairman Winnie the Pooh Bear is the most prefect man alive and would never hurt a fly even! You are being mislead , the CCP is nice and benevolent to everyone in the World! Stupid Westerners and their stupid attack on the CCP. The CCP will smite you all with a plague!
I think Kelly did a tremendous job in representing America. She showed us what Americans truly are, not just Trump. The arrogance and the way she felt that other nations are beneath US are just astounding.
Feels like a show so they can rationalize the New World Order with one government and one currency. The WHO and China are at fault for this pandemic. China owes reparations the same as Germany did after the World Wars.
Dear US ambassador, haven’t u heard what ur master had spoken? He was the one who fires a first shot when it was deemed unnecessary. U think the other country would just sit there & smile? U are and ur govt is disgusting.
If this was independence day movie, Aliens have already won.
What Neanderthals is public, what Neanderthals are their leaders. While science is moving to new heights these Neanderthals with their tribalism expressed in their nationalism and racism are pulling the modern human civilization to end.
Hold the CCP accountable for lying the WHO and The Whole world.
“There is no virus”
“Its not a pandemic outside of china”
Yeah China virus, exactly.
woooow all chinese wu Mao are talking each other …..
Do you know whats wumao? In the first place not all chinese are wumao. If chinese in china is wumao they will not become a developed countries.
All members should ask : how long will UN last? The western world filled of bastards have created their mini unions to safeguard their ever existence -economically and militarily – against the onslaught of other countries say in UN where the white people is outnumbered by coloured peoples. Thus racial leverage will decide the fate of UN.
Who’s the disgusting one?? Lol
They just need common sense which they don’t have.
Both the trump and china is right. Its chinas fault for hiding the virus for months and allowing it to spread. And its also americas fault for failing to fight covid 19 properly.
Money talks
WHO helped cover up the spread of the virus
This guy keep on blaming china instead of finding a solution to this pandemic. Nobodies want this pandemic. Full of EGO!!!
US is like a baby with a toddler for a president
The UN has and continues to fail!
I blame america
UN is the no solution
Reforms needed
Kelly Craft unift for housewife
shame on her, whats wrong with an open discussion, the ambassador been on that stool for a bit too long
I thought the US ambassador was talking about Trump from what she was saying. What she said definitely does not fit any countries other then US or Trump. Shame on her and Trump!
Yes Trump is stupid and arrogant but whatever he said in UN speech is 100% true . isn’t it China which hid this virus outbreak for 3 months and allowed it to be spread to world. Ebola,MERS were controlled as they were detected and reported by countries early and hence are controlled. If China would have not hid carona virus it would not have spread causing million deaths.
China is busy annexing countries like Tibet and soon Nepal and harassing its neighbours and all the UN does is keep quiet on that and talk sh** on some unimportant issues. Logically all the top 5 or more largest economies should be permanent members of the UNSC by default not vote, but thats not the case.
China xi said : ‘No country has the right to dominate global affairs, or keep advantages in development all ‘. Sorry, covid-18 has started from Wuhan (part of alien land ?) and dominating global affairs today. And beijing keeps advatage in development of Covid-19 vaccine business among poor & lack of leadership contries around the globe
All a sham
UN is inutil
Kelly craft your 1000% correct madan
China virus only trump has guts
Hope World War this time doesn’t wiped out humanity..
This is how strong nations take advantage of their strength
its ok, It is completely in line with the agenda.
And WHO’s fault was that? Wasnt your own colleague, Mr. Tedros supposed to have told the international community of this “disaster”? Instead of sending investigators to China, you just let them lie to you, look what happened. It isnt the fault of countries. This is the fault of YOUR organizations own corruption.
So who is to be blamed? Isn’t it obvious and yet western news media are loathe to criticise the US. Seems to me the US can do no wrong…
The costs of lockdown exceed the benefits
Blame China. He didn’t communicated with the rest of the world. Blame WHO as well as the mouthpiece of China. Thank you Ambassador Kelly Craft for telling the truth.
ALL countries notified early January 2020….which countries took action.??? MOST DID NOTHING TILL MID MARCH.
Philip Cham China anf the WHO said in January that it is not highly infectious and travelling ban on Chinese to other countries is being racist. Duh! What news are you following?
@nacmacfeegles the real news obviously…… Many countries acted timeously…. Based on the real news… Just because you have fake news makes no difference. Fact is some countries acted, some refused… Due mainly to incompetence…
Blame your mom for your low i q
Kim-un-jong NK the leaders acted based on scientific evidence. Until now China is keeping their results, their data secret. The only reason the other countries acted immediately is because they didn’t wait for the WHO’s advice because they are incompetent and only follows China’s lies. And the only reason you make a comment “blame you mom ..blah blah”. Is because you don’t have any intelligent answer to the question. You’re stupid .
📡🛰️📺🕑🕢🇺🇳⚕️
For me i support to kelly craft of it
Coz of china liying about there starting in there deadly virus and drugs from beijing
Curption making money off dead people CCP taker of world lands ♥️👀🌍⌚

Fuckyou china !
US ambassador was watching a whole different discussion…. unless she was directing her “i am disgusted” comment at her boss.
WARNING PLEASE REALLY REALLY HARD TODAY FBI WITH ALL SUSPECT, THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY KEEP DOING YOUR THINGS FBI.THANK YOU REALLY APPRECIATED!
China should be hold accountable for the spreading globally of the pandemic and not telling the TRUTH!
USA should be held accountable for the spread globally of the pandemic and not telling the TRUTH.!!!!!!
I think what she mean is that includes Trump too. Distancing the blame away for the global economic meltdown, and the bad guy is the Who, the UN, the Human right, the Climate change, the Venezuela, the Flu…etc .Everyone knows nobody is not perfect that includes the US.
This is what happened when international community allows China to continue with its behavior. Letting other countries suffer from its irresponsible action while now they are celebrating for their montrous achievements in molecular biology.
Lol..
china virus
Nobody called it American virus back in 1918.
US, your video lagging. U need some 5G.
Every country should be ashamed…especially the United States… politicizing a VIRUS is beyond belief. This is a human issue, and we need to work together to combat this. We as a species are pathetic and I wonder how much longer do we really have on this planet, because we are every sin in the Bible with a dash of STUPIDITY!
Boycott Winter Olympics 2022. Holding accountable the county who unleashed covid90. .
The American establishment is oh so special..
USA is not fit for being a global leader
Plan-demic. .Not pandemic. .overthrow China Regime save the world from ccp virus.
The China virus 🤣🤣🤣🤣
World mus unite to defeat China Virus! For that to happen world must unite to investigate the root of China Virus in Wuhan City. Both WHO and Chinese Commi Party must be accountable for their lack of clarity in January.
Communist China trumps democratic India
Communism trumps democracy
Democracy sucks especially Indian democracy
Its true. The virus was from China. Chinese Government withheld information about it. And thats a fact. Therefore, I dont think that it is wrong for it to be called a China Virus.
US Ambassador is so undiplomatic. I bet she is not coming from diplomat background but rather a “normal” US politician. Seems she does not understand diplomacy and its manner.
Yes ma’am we the civilized world is ashamed of your president and his administration.. Downplaying the virus your president caused death of hundreds and thousands of innocent Americans. Shane on you
Lol american internal matters has nothing to do with explotion of virus and hw it happened in first place
China Virus… Thats what every nation should call this Corona virus. It was spread by Chinese as a part of bio war with the World.
United nation is supporting to terrorists and playing in the hand of killer’s of humanity
Even China done a lot of bad things,many countries will stick with them.Because a wise enemy in every aspect is better than a foolish ally.
Ambassador Kelly , she is right, china should take responsibility , where the coronavirus started in China , chines they should cooperated world , in first place ,
Shame on this disgusting us abasedor and us president .
GBush once said, if you make mistakes, blame somebody else for your mistakes. Chump has been doing a great job for it. This is American democracy. So typical.
“feet of iron and clay” ,thats where we at in the biblical image of the statue representing human rulership .
I don’t like Donny, hence ban him from making any speach in world organizations.
China is a source of troubles ON ANY FROMT.
Kick it out of the UN as a start and WTO as second ,let it deserve the spot before admitting it.
Other countries except China were prepared,STRANGE
Strange indeed. Remember how Japan, South Korea, Italy was panicking in Feb-May, while china seems to be relaxing.
He who has the money, who has the weapon has the power. And in a fight, one must win or bullying will never stop. World of competition.
Who cares what the UN thinks?
She was a child pros. She is disappointed that there is no client at UN for her😂😂
The US doesn’t deserve this embarrassent as our “president.”
UN never got peace deals anything Shut it off
Trump said “CHINA VIRUS”🤣🤣
You think these clowns will help bring prosperity
These beasts can’t stop blaming each other always ready to fight all they are good at is how to launch military campaigns against helpless nations all they know is how to suppress and suffocate weaker sections
This was at the “United Nations” did you say?
UN nothing but a data publishing body.
but trump is correct, and i dont even like him. china should be held accountable for all these deaths. if not, they will do it again, God forbid.
Since the US have pulled out of WHO, ICC, Climate Change, JCPOA, why not UN too. One thing the US don’t pull out are the troops around the world, why?
American failed us.
First eradicate Qurana virus, there will be cure for Corona virus sooner or later but Qurana virus is killing more people than corona virus.
While UN is discussing this. Turkey and Azerbaijan are targeting civilian population of Artsakh.
end of united states in sight
