Jean-Pierre emphasized, however, that the U.S. is dissatisfied with China\u2019s lack of transparency and cooperation throughout the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf it turns out that COVID-19 originated from some sort of a lab accident in China\u2026would the president seek to punish China?\u201d Fox News Reporter Peter Doocy asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re not gonna go there just yet.
