随着印度继续努力应对新一轮的冠状病毒案例，白宫国家安全顾问杰克·沙利文周日在美国广播公司的“本周”节目中说，尽管两党对他们的回应都提出了批评，但拜登政府对此感到“自豪”他们迄今为止的援助努力。
“在这种速度和凶猛的危机中，我们总是希望我们能走得更快，做得更多，”沙利文告诉《本周》的联合主播玛莎·拉德达兹。
“到目前为止，我们所做的一切都让我们感到自豪，其中包括多架飞机的装载——我们说的是非常大的军用飞机的装载——包括氧气，包括将原材料转移到疫苗“包括有助于拯救生命的疗法，我们正在继续努力寻找额外的关键材料，以尽可能快地转移它们，”沙利文说。

沙利文补充说，美国是担心变异和病毒的传播，以及“当这种流行病在印度失控时出现的所有副作用”
乔·拜登总统与印度总理交谈据政府高级官员称，在过去的一周，双方“简要讨论”了放弃COVID相关产品、疫苗和治疗的知识产权问题。
沙利文说，政府希望在不久的将来在这些问题上有所进展。
“我们认为，制药公司应该大规模供应，并增加整个世界的成本，这样就没有任何人接种疫苗的障碍。我们的大使凯瑟琳·泰，我们的美国贸易代表，正在世贸组织进行紧张的磋商，以解决这个问题，我们应该在未来几天有一个前进的方向，”沙利文说。

沙利文在《本周》上也讨论过正在进行的谈判伊朗将重新参与2015年伊朗核协议。尽管据报道，伊朗外交部副部长表示，已经达成了一项解除经济制裁的协议，以使各方更接近达成协议，但沙利文表示，情况并非如此。
“我们还没有在维也纳达成一致，”沙利文告诉拉德达兹。
他继续说:“要弥合剩余的差距，还有相当长的路要走，这些差距是关于美国和其他国家将撤销什么样的制裁。”“他们担心伊朗会接受什么样的核限制来确保他们永远不会拥有核武器。我们的外交官们将在未来几周继续努力，争取在遵约对遵约的基础上，共同回到《联合行动纲领》，即伊朗核协议。”
白宫最近宣布，他们对朝鲜政策长达数月的审查已经完成，尽管目标仍然是朝鲜半岛完全无核化，但拜登不会“依赖战略耐心”，这一术语定义了奥巴马时代的方法。
尽管拜登政府尚未提供全部细节，但考虑到前四届政府未能实现无核化，拉德达兹周日向沙利文施压，要求他说明新方法将如何带来不同的结果。
“我们对朝鲜的政策不是为了敌对，而是为了解决问题。它旨在最终实现朝鲜半岛的完全无核化，”沙利文说。
“我们认为，一种更为精确、实用、有分寸的方法，而不是一劳永逸或不劳而获，最有可能真正把球送到球场上，以减少以下因素带来的挑战...朝鲜的核计划，”他说。
Administration 'proud' of India aid effort: WH national security adviser
As India continues to grapple with a new surge ofcoronaviruscases, White Housenational securityadviser Jake Sullivan said on ABC's "This Week" Sunday that despite bipartisan criticism of their response, the Biden administration is "proud" oftheir 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 forvaccines, 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. wasconcerned about the variantsand spread of the virus, as well as "all of the secondary effects that emerge as this pandemic rages out of control in India."
President Joe Bidenspoke with India's prime ministerthis past week, and "briefly discussed" the issue of waiving intellectual property rights for COVID-related products, vaccines, therapeutics, according to senior administration officials.
Sullivan said the administration is hopeful there would be movement on the issues in the near future.
"We believe that the pharmaceutical companies should be supplying at scale and add cost to the entire world so that there is no barrier to everyone getting vaccinated. Our ambassador, Katherine Tai, our U.S. trade representative, is engaged in intensive consultations at the WTO, to work through this issue, and we should have a way forward in the coming days," Sullivan said.

Sullivan on "This Week" also discussedongoing negotiationswith Iran to re-engage in the 2015 Iran nuclear deal. Despite Iran's deputy foreign minister reportedly saying an agreement had been met to lift economic sanctions to bring the parties closer to an agreement, Sullivan said that wasn't the case.
"We have not yet reached agreement in Vienna," Sullivan told Raddatz.
"There is still fair distance to travel to close the remaining gaps, and those gaps are over what sanctions the United States and other countries will roll back," he continued. "They are over what nuclear restrictions Iran will accept on its program to ensure that they can never get a nuclear weapon. And our diplomats will keep working at that over the coming weeks to try to arrive at a mutual return to the JCPOA, which is the Iran nuclear deal, on a compliance-for-compliance basis."
The White House recently announced their months-long review of North Korean policy has been completed, and while the objective continues to be a completely denuclearized Korean Peninsula, Biden will not "rely on strategic patience," a term that defined the Obama-era approach.
While the Biden administration hasn't provided full details, on Sunday Raddatz pressed Sullivan on how the new approach would bring a different outcome, given that the four previous administrations failed to achieve denuclearization.
"Our policy towards North Korea is not aimed at hostility, it's aimed at solutions. It's aimed at ultimately achieving the complete de-nuclearization of the Korean Peninsula," Sullivan said.
"We believe that rather than all-for-all or nothing-for-nothing, a more calibrated, practical, measured approach stands the best chance of actually moving the ball down the field towards reducing the challenge posed by ... North Korea's nuclear program," he said.
