Administration 'proud' of India aid effort: WH national security adviser

White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan appeared on ABC's "This Week."

As India continues to grapple with a new surge of coronavirus cases, White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said on ABC's "This Week" Sunday that despite bipartisan criticism of their response, the Biden administration is "proud" of their aid efforts so far. "In a crisis of this speed and ferocity, we always wish we could move faster and do more," Sullivan told "This Week" co-anchor Martha Raddatz. "We're proud of what we've done so far which has included multiple plane loads -- and we're talking very large military plane loads of supplies -- including oxygen, including diverting raw materials for vaccines, including therapeutics that can help save lives, and we are continuing to work to source additional critical materials to move them as fast as we can," Sullivan said. Sullivan added that the U.S. was concerned about the variants and spread of the virus, as well as "all of the secondary effects that emerge as this pandemic rages out of control in India."
