(CNN) The Biden campaign on Friday launched a new counterattack on President Donald Trump and his response to the coronavirus pandemic, zeroing in on his approach to dealing with China throughout the crisis.

In a pair of digital videos, the Biden campaign argues the President put the US in an ill-prepared position to deal with the outbreak and was not forceful enough in demanding transparency from Chinese leaders.

"The uncomfortable truth is that this president left America exposed and vulnerable to this pandemic," former vice president Joe Biden said in one of the videos. "He ignored the warnings of health experts and intelligence agencies, and put his trust in China's leaders instead."

In a separate video, Tony Blinken, former deputy secretary of state and a foreign policy adviser to Biden, said, "President Trump went soft on China when it mattered most. Joe Biden will insist that China live up to its responsibilities."

The videos highlight how the Biden campaign plans on making Trump's response to coronavirus central to their argument against him in the 2020 election.
