News U.S. “doing our best” to help North Korea during COVID-19 pandemic: PompeoSecretary of State seemed to suggest that the DPRK had not accepted Trump administration's offer of humanitarian aid The U.S. is "doing our best" to make sure American humanitarian aid can enter countries -- including, perhaps, North Korea -- that need help fending off the coronavirus pandemic, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in an interview on Thursday. Pompeo's comments come just days after U.S. President Donald Trump said his administration would be willing to offer aid to the DPRK to help fight the pandemic, if the country needed it -- but the Secretary of State also seemed to suggest that Pyongyang had not accepted Washington's offer of help. © Korea Risk Group.
