US Secretary of State Marco Rubio dismisses criticism over US response to Myanmar quake.

Rubio said the US had to balance global humanitarian rescue work with "other needs" and "other priorities" that were in the US national interests.

Former USAID official said the shuttering of the agency meant the White House could not send teams from the US to save lives in the immediate aftermath of the 28 March earthquake.
