U.S. Ambassador to China Jon Huntsman made the announcement here Wednesday in a press release.
According to the release, China's Red Cross Society on behalf of the Red Cross Society in Gansu Province will receive the donation.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Tuesday expressed condolences over the deadly flooding and mudslides in China.
