TAIPEI -- U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar's landmark visit to Taiwan has touched on more than just cooperation against COVID-19, he confided to reporters on Wednesday, noting that discussions have touched on a bilateral trade deal and luring Taiwanese manufacturers to the U.S.
Azar, the highest-level U.S. cabinet member to visit Taiwan since 1979, also voiced skepticism over the biggest coronavirus news of the moment -- Russia's claim to have successfully developed a vaccine.
