John Kirby, strategic communications coordinator of the White House National Security Council (NSC), said that the US presidential administration has not yet reached a consensus on the origin of the new coronavirus, and that Washington expects cooperation from Beijing. It has been reported TASS.
“There is currently no consensus in government on exactly how covid originated,” Kirby said.
That’s why he commented on reports that the U.S. Department of Energy is turning to the version that a new coronavirus has spread due to a lab leak.
According to Kirby, “there is no consensus in the intelligence community” on this issue.
Before that, it was learned that it emerged after the new secret intelligence report of the US Department of Energy, which previously believed that the coronavirus emerged naturally. changed his mind – now with “low confidence”, the agency believes the disease was spread in China as a result of an accidental laboratory leak. Now in the American intelligence community there are two supporters of the artificial origin of COVID-19 – the Department of Energy and the FBI.
