National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said Sunday that the Biden administration would not take immediate action against China to pressure the communist regime to allow an independent investigation into whether COVID-19 originated in a Wuhan lab.
During an appearance on CNN's "State of the Union," Sullivan said there would be no immediate pressure on Beijing over the issue, explaining that President Joe Biden's administration is working on "two tracks" in terms of trying to identify the origins of COVID-19, the disease caused About the Chinese Communist Party.
Jake Sullivan noted that the administration will put additional pressure on China when there is an "international consensus."
“We are not, at this point, going to issue threats or ultimatums. What we’re going to do is continue to rally support in the international community,” Biden’s national security adviser said. “And if it turns out that China refuses to live up to its international obligations, we will have to consider our responses at that point, and we will do so in concert with allies and partners.”
