US President Joe Biden said Saturday that America had offered North Korea Covid vaccines but “got no response” despite a spiralling epidemic in the isolated country.

“We’ve offered vaccines, not only to North Korea but to China as well and we’re prepared to do that immediately,” he said at a press conference in Seoul.

“We’ve got no response,” he added.

North Korea has been ravaged by its first wave of COVID-19 cases, but the isolated country continues to repeatedly deny aid and international assistance.
