"The U.S. government encouraged American companies to send masks and personal protection equipment, or PPE, worth millions of dollars to China earlier this year, according to a Washington Post report Saturday.

The newspaper's report said the White House was oblivious to the danger the coronavirus posed to the U.S. and the rest of the world.

The move, the newspaper said, "underscores the Trump administration's failure to recognize and prepare for the growing pandemic threat."

The Post said its findings are based on a "review of economic data and internal government documents."

The newspaper said an analysis of the value of the masks and other items sent to China in January and February showed it grew by more than 1,000 percent in comparison to the same time last year, jumping from $1.4 million to approximately $17.6 million. There was also three-digit inflation for the shipments of ventilators and protective garments."
