Washington: Two Republican lawmakers have urged US President Donald Trump to call his Chinese counterpart to immediately close wet markets in China.
In a letter to Trump, Congressman Alcee Hastings and Vern Buchanan expressed grave concerns with China’s lax regulation of live animal markets that have been connected to the spread of COVID-19 and other zoonotic diseases.
According to them, expanded oversight on public health grounds was urgently needed to prevent future outbreaks of disease.
They stressed on the need to sound the alarm now on the urgent need for expanded regulation, elevated enforcement, or closure of these markets. (PTI)
