“Now we have no plans to share the vaccine with the DPRK,” Price reports to RIA Novosti.

However, according to him, the American side "remains very concerned about the human rights situation with the DPRK."

“Ultimately, the goal of our revision of our policy towards the DPRK is not only to protect our interests, but also ... to improve the humanitarian situation (in North Korea. -

In response to a question whether Pyongyang requested assistance from Washington in obtaining a vaccine against coronavirus, he recommended contacting the DPRK.
