Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has also blasted China for not letting the U.S. in to examine the Wuhan lab
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has also blasted China for its conduct related to the virus, and Chinese state media have hit back in highly personal terms.
Pompeo on Wednesday accused China of spreading disinformation. He has referred to COVID-19 as the 'Wuhan virus.'
'The mere fact that we don't know the answers - that China hasn't shared the answers - I think is very, very telling,' said Pompeo.
He also has pushed China to let outside experts into the lab 'so that we can determine precisely where this virus began.'
Senior administration officials are pushing US spy agencies to search for information of the link, the New York Times reported. Some analysts raised concerns the pressure could warp US conclusions and assessments.
