There was no response from the US government, according to US President
US President Joe Biden said on Saturday (May 21, 2022) that he offered North Korea vaccines against covid-19, but he did not have “answer”. Biden is in Seoul, South Korea, and spoke about the matter alongside South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol.
“We offer vaccines, not only to North Korea but also to China, and we are prepared to do so immediately.” he said. “We had no response”added the US president.
