Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Sunday declined to say whether China should face repercussions over its handling of the Covid-19 pandemic that contributed to its global spread.
When pressed by CNN’s Dana Bash during an interview on whether the country should face punitive measures, Blinken said there needed to be “accountability” but didn’t elaborate on what measures needed to be taken. Instead, the nation’s top diplomat stressed that the focus should be on “building a stronger system for the future” that would mitigate against future outbreaks.
“I think the issue for us is to make sure that we do everything possible to prevent another pandemic, even as we’re working through this one, or at the very least to make sure that we can mitigate in much more effective ways any damage done if something happens in the future,” Blinken said on “State of the Union.”
