White House warns of ‘pressure’ from US, allies on China amid COVID origins probe
Some Republicans have criticized White House for ‘vague threats and cheap talk’ . The White House said the United States and allies will “work together” to “exercise the necessary pressure on China” amid the global investigation into the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic, urging Beijing to be a “participant” and provide “transparent data and access” in the probe. The comments come after White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said China would face “isolation in the international community” if they do not cooperate with further probes into the origin of the coronavirus pandemic.
