WASHINGTON - U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo hit out at Beijing again on Wednesday over the coronavirus outbreak and accused it of taking advantage of the pandemic to bully neighbors, even as he welcomed China’s provision of essential medical supplies.
The Trump administration has repeatedly criticized China’s handling of the coronavirus outbreak, which began late last year in the Chinese city of Wuhan and has grown into a global pandemic. The outbreak has killed around 180,000 people globally, including more than 45,000 in the United States, according to a Reuters tally.
Pompeo said WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom failed to use his ability “to go public” when a member state failed to follow the rules. He said the WHO had an obligation to ensure safety standards were observed in virology labs in Wuhan and its director-general had “enormous authority with respect to nations that do not comply.
The Secretary of State spoke later on Wednesday with counterparts from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and said the United States has called on China to close its wildlife wet markets permanently, citing links between the markets and zoonotic diseases, which can jump from animals to humans.While the Trump administration has stepped up criticism of China as the pandemic worsens, the crisis has exposed U.S. reliance on China for essential medical supplies.

Body bags supply
I’m amazed that the country who attacked the world, is the country that’s supplying the world with ppe. Seems odd. It’s the only economy with a massive profit and every other is at a deficit due to Covit-19
Shame!
Very nice,reflects its greediness.
Bite left hand. Kiss right hand. Minus 10 points for obfuscation.
what US people elected
shameless
He is simply shameless, China is supplying not for him, but for the poor US people suffering under their government. Lots of US lives could have been saved had the US government cooperated with China on pandemic control.
Lolol a typical
Por estar Hueveando todo el día habla y se tira pedos....
hypocrits
Ya how hypocritiCal SecPompeo very bad.. 🤣🤣
China is now actively limiting the export of PPE to countries hostile to China, including the US and Canada. Words matter. Dont bite the hand that feeds.
Two faced bastard - just like his boss.
Ass
So sad to see all the hate in the hearts of so many people. Chill folks, its not like you have not experienced it before. Like someone once said, and I paraphrase, it is the Covid-19, for goodness sake. You have been through 18 coronaviruses before this. 😂😂😂
While criticizing China, he hopes to get Chinese masks. Shame
old Chinese saying: A bitch want a honor arch
Don’t trust China anymore!
We need to make these supplies domestically as it is a nat sec issue.
The whole world should be criticizing China
China is Finished
American needs an assassin...
Is he bored?
Trump administration’s only skill is avoiding responsibility.
This guy needs to be sacked.

Schizophrenia👆🏻
According to your INTEL, received 2nd week Nov 2019. USA knew the pandemic ever since. That's almost 1 month earlier than China ever figured out what's there. And 2 months earlier than conclusion of H2H situation. But will you tell us WHY you collect such info in 1st place?
US need to do things that constructive instead of destructive. Make peace not war.
CHICKEN
Blame some one at least its not the JEWISH people this time it happened don't care where it started lets beat it
Sound like I need your help but I hate you.
Hypocrisy.
so people will work for the doctors to pay them to treat them ; if they do not need treatment, they will pay not to enslave them while they can pay;when they stop working for doctors, they just die , and the doctors have new slaves, better working, better earning money
the cross of a human animal creates AIDS ; In 1798, Jenner published his discovery in the article 'An Inquiry Into the Causes and Effects of Variolæ Vaccinæ, Or Cow-Pox', in which he described the protective effect of cowpox against human smallpox infection.....from COW !!!
🤦♀️
Thank you, Secretary Pompeo!
There is only one other graduate of West Point who exhibits the same diplomatic finesse as SecPompeo, and that would be Gen. George Armstrong Custer
Nobody cares about what pompeo said...at all...
Imagine if China used the same tactics as Trump: withholding medical supplies to redirect them to « friendly » states. Just imagine...
so reckless! What if supplies are bugged or infected? HowDareYou
He’s so dumb I can hardly believe it.
Il veut des cartons a moitie vides de masques ! Mdr.
US: China bad - They lied, can't be trusted - WE WILL MAKE THEM PAY!!! Also US: Oh hey China.. You got some medical supplies we can have, we'd gladly welcome your assistance there. World watching on:
Who cares he’s useless.
'This food is inedible and the portions are too small'
white pig
Welcome supplies? Lol. No shame.
No doubt, it was China that spread coronavirus to this world. The international community must either wage war against China or seek compensation for sanctions or affected countries.
Typical, modern America's reflection
'I believe this transfer was in response to my insistence that the government invest the billions of dollars allocated by Congress to address Covid-19 pandemic into safe and scientifically vetted solutions, and not in drugs, vaccines and technologies that lack scientific merit.”
Bota para Torar Pompeo. Não se Negocia com Bandidos.
