“The United States is deeply worried about the young soccer players and their coach missing in Tham Luang Cave, as well as their families and supporters,” the embassy said in a statement.
“The United States Pacific Command (PACOM) has sent a search-and-rescue team at the request of the Royal Thai government to assist in locating the group.
“The United States team is now in Chiang Rai and delivering search-and-rescue experience and capacity to the already tremendous efforts underway by Thai authorities. We hope the players and their coach will be brought home quickly and safely.”
