British PM Calls for Global Treaty on Pandemics

VOA News

   British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Monday suggested he would
   support a global treaty on pandemics that would establish standards for
   data-sharing and transparency.

   Johnson made the comment during his usual COVID-19 briefing from his
   office in London, when asked about the World Health Organization team's
   recently concluded visit to Wuhan, China, to investigate the source of
   the COVID-19 pandemic.

   On Friday, White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan issued a
   statement saying that while the Biden administration has great respect
   for WHO's work and the experts who work for it, he expressed "deep
   concerns" about the early findings of the COVID-19 investigation team
   and has questions about the process used to reach them.
