A US intelligence report requested by President Biden into the origins of the coronavirus pandemic is inconclusive, US media reports say.
Agencies are reportedly divided on whether the virus – first seen in China – was the result of a natural spillover from animals to humans or was caused by a laboratory accident.
An summary of the report is expected to be published in the coming days.
China’s foreign minister has dismissed the report as “anti-science”.
Wang Yi said Washington had “ignored and abandoned” research carried out by the World Health Organization (WHO) for a report that would only service its “political purposes”.
The pandemic, which has claimed more than four million lives around the world, began in the Chinese city of Wuhan in early 2020.
