The United States stands ready to spend up to $100 million to assist China and other countries impacted by coronavirus, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced on Friday.
"This commitment, along with the hundreds of millions generously donated by the American private sector, demonstrates strong U.S. leadership in response to the outbreak," Pompeo said in a statement.
Pompeo said the U.S. government's commitment would be met through existing funds "both directly and through multilateral organizations."
