Men här är lite om USA.S intentioner. De är inte precis hemliga av sig:
/.../Beyond public health and moral considerations, there are clear reasons for the United States to support greater bilateral assistance for Covid-19 vaccinations. For one, while many high-income countries are battling worsening pandemic conditions and slow vaccine rollouts, the United States has an opportunity to consciously set global standards for future public health crises and to illustrate what greater international engagement will look like under the Biden-Harris administration. The United States should also push back against authoritarian-leaning countries like Russia and China, who are relying on distributing their own vaccines to seek greater influence abroad. The United States will have to move quickly, especially considering that Russia and China began engaging in vaccine diplomacy much earlier and with much greater intent; already, reports have emerged that China has pressured countries it gave vaccines to formally recognize China’s claim over Taiwan. However, with a more effective slate of vaccines on hand, renewed political will, and legitimacy stemming from a successful domestic rollout, the Biden-Harris administration a has unique opportunity to provide critical access to vaccines to its partners across the world.

Ja, det är ju knappas någon nyhet att det finns en geopolitisk konkurrens mellan USA och de auktoritära staterna Ryssland och Kina. Men jag tvivlar på att USA kan/vill påverka EMA:s bedömning, för då skulle fransmännen gå i taket, ännu en gång. USA och EU är, kanske, inte 100 procentiga partners, men heller inte enimies eller "frenimies".
