The United States on Tuesday indicated it stands ready to assist China with its surging COVID-19 outbreak, warning that an uncontrolled spread there may have implications for the global economy.
"We're prepared to continue to support countries around the world, including China, on this and other COVID-related health support," State Department spokesperson Ned Price said in a daily press briefing. "For us this is not about politics, this is not about geopolitics," he said.
