Trump's state visit to Japan has been punctuated by ceremonial activities, with the US president meeting Japan's new Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako on Monday-making him the first foreign state leader to be received by the monarch, who ascended the throne this month.
Trump also accused the news media of trying to provoke a confrontation with Moscow that could lead to war, although concerns about the meeting have been raised by a broad cross-section of Republicans and Democrats.
Trump, responding to the CNN report on Wednesday, noted that decision would be up to Barr.
Trump claimed without evidence that 99 percent of COVID-19 cases in the United States were "totally harmless." In fact, many US states marked a record number of new cases. In Texas alone, 7,890 patients were hospitalized after 238 new confirmed cases over the past 24 hours.
Trump said the United States has tested 25 million people, far more than other countries.
Trump said the United States is willing to further strengthen cooperation with China in economy, military affairs and people-to-people exchanges, and support China's efforts in hunting for fugitives who have fled abroad and recovering illicit money.
