'The pandemic is a clear test of international cooperation – a test we have essentially failed,' said UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.

NEW YORK - The United States, China and Russia fought on Thursday during a United Nations Security Council meeting on the coronavirus pandemic after U.N. chief Antonio Guterres had warned the body that if the climate crisis was approached with the"same disunity and disarray" of COVID-19, then:"I fear the worst."

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and the Chinese government's top diplomat, Wang Yi, both took veiled swipes at the United States during the virtual council meeting on global governance post-COVID-19, to which U.S. Ambassador Kelly Craft responded:"Shame on each of you." "We see attempts on the part of individual countries to use the current situation in order to move forward their narrow interests of the moment, in order to settle the score with an undesirable government or geopolitical competitors," he said.

China's U.N. Ambassador Zhang Jun rejected her accusations and said:"Enough is enough. You have created enough troubles for the world already. ... The U.S. should understand that blaming others will not solve its own problems."
