MS. JEAN-PIERRE: Good to see you.
Q Thank you. Good to see you too. Two questions, starting with the earthquake in Taiwan. Has the government there asked for anything yet from the United States? And will the U.S. coordinate with China if Taiwan does request any kind of assistance?
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: So, what I will say is that we continue to closely monitor the earthquake impacting Taiwan. And we certainly pray for all those who are affected. And we are — we are — we are standing by — the United States is standing by on the ready for any necessary assistance. I don’t have anything else to provide beyond that. But we’re closely monitoring, and we are ready to assist.
Q Is there any reason to believe at this point that the earthquake will affect the visits next week by the leaders of Japan and the Philippines for the summit?
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: So, don’t have any change of schedule.
