Pompeo on virus repatriation, data, WHO and Iran

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says the United States has repatriated more than 50,000 of its citizens back home following the shutdown of travel around the world due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Pompeo also said there isn't a time limit on when they would stop trying to bring citizens home.

The Secretary of State also said China has a responsibility to provide accurate date on COVID-19 to help scientists around the world battle the disease.

Pompeo also spoke about the U.S. offering Iran aid during their coronavirus fight and that the U.S. was reevaluating its WHO funding , saying that “it hasn’t accomplished what it was intended to deliver.”

This comes after a heartfelt plea for unity, the World Health Organization's chief sought Wednesday to rise above sharp criticism and threats of funding cuts from U.S. President Donald Trump over the agency’s response to the coronavirus outbreak.

The vocal defense from the WHO director-general came a day after Trump blasted the U.N. agency for being “China-centric” and alleging that it had “criticized” his ban of travel from China as the COVID-19 outbreak was spreading from the city of Wuhan.
