translated from Spanish: Biden announced that the U.S. could start sharing vaccines with other countries in the coming months

U.S. President Joe Biden said Tuesday that he hopes his government can begin sharing with other countries its inventory of covid-19 vaccines “before the end of summer” (June-September), once it has been assured that it has enough to inoculate its entire population.” My hope is that, before the end of summer, I will be talking to you that we already have access to more vaccines than we need to care for every American, and we are helping other countries, poor countries,” Biden said during an act at the White House.The representative said he wants to share the American surpluses with other countries because “until this vaccine is available around the world and we are beating the virus in other nations , we won’t be completely sure.” The White House has already reached agreements with Mexico and Canada to send them a total of 4 million doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine and the University of Oxford, whose emergency use has not yet been approved in the United States.However, it has not yet responded publicly to requests from many other countries, more or less developed , which has asked you to have access to its surpluses, as the United States has acquired many more doses than it needs to immunize its entire adult population. The accumulation of doses by the United States and other rich countries has raised concern among some experts, who warn that this may be impacting the inability of other countries with fewer resources to get sufficient vaccines in the short term, which can increase the risk of virus mutations. The White House believes that by the end of May it will already have enough doses to vaccinate all adult Americans, but has insisted that it should prepare for potential unforeseen events, such as manufacturing problems. In addition, the Biden Government wants to reserve doses in case they are necessary to strengthen the immunity of those who have already been vaccinated, or to supply them to children if injectables are found to be effective and safe for use in minors. The Biden Executive has also donated $2 billion to the COVAX platform for the development and equitable distribution of vaccines, and plans to donate another $2 billion until 2022.During his white house act, Biden also said he has not spoken to his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, about a possible responsibility of China in expanding the pandemic by hiding some of the information about the seriousness of the situation in its country.” No, I haven’t had that conversation with President Xi,” Biden merely indicated when asked by a reporter.
