The United States on Monday reacted to pledge by China to
contribute two billion dollars to countries affected by the coronavirus
pandemic.
Chinese President, Xi Jinping on Monday, in a message to the
World Health Organization’s (WHO) annual conference, said the two billion
dollars will be paid in the next two years to affected countries.
He disclosed that the money is for health measures and
developmental aid for affected countries.
However, White House National Security Council spokesman,
John Ullyot, in a statement said China must pay more than the two billion
dollars it committed to the World Health Organisation.
Ullyot described the pledge as a token to distract the world
from Beijing’s failure to alert the world in time about the coronavirus
outbreak.
“China’s commitment to WHO is a token to distract from calls
from a growing number of nations demanding accountability for the Chinese
government’s failure to meet its obligations.
“To tell the truth and warn the world of what was coming,”
he added.
