WASHINGTON (CNN) — The United States will send two plane-loads of aid to China this weekend to help Chinese earthquake victims. State Department Spokesman Sean McCormack said two US Air Force C-17’s will take the supplies, including tents and generators. The U.S. offer of assistance is open-ended and the flights could be followed by others, he told reporters at his regular midday briefing. Earlier, the United States pledged $500,000 to help China in its quake relief efforts and that money has been delivered by the U.S. Red Cross. |
