Pompeo warns every country must 'step up and provide accurate, transparent information' about coronavirus
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, in an interview on "Hannity" Monday, urged every country to be transparent and provide accurate information about coronavirus because lives are at stake.

"President Trump and I have been committed to making sure that we had the best data available. When you hear Drs. [Anthony] Fauci and [Deborah] Birx talk about risk, talk about fatalities, trying to think about how to model, what they need is data," Pompeo said.

"They need data from Italy. They need data from China. They need data from Iran. We need every country to step up and provide accurate, transparent information. And if we can't have that, if we have disinformation instead, there are more lives that will be at risk, not only today, but in the weeks ahead."

"We've asked every country to step up and tell us what they know so that the world can learn," Pompeo added. "America will then turn around, we will share the information we get and we'll keep people safe, not only here in the United States, but all across the world." Click here for more.
