President Joe Biden said Friday the United States must support worldwide attempts to stop the spread of COVID-19 despite it having infected tens of millions “in order to beat COVID” at home.

“In the United States of America, we’re doing everything that needs to be done to take care of the American people within our borders,” Biden said during a news conference on Friday. “But look what’s happened. ... We’re starting to make some real progress, and you find out there’s another strain.”
