New Delhi: US President Donald Trump praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the helping hand of exporting Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ). He called PM Narendra Modi “great” and “really good”.
“I bought millions of doses… more than 29 million. I spoke to Prime Minister (Narendra) Modi, a lot of it comes out of India. I asked him if he would release it. He was great. He was really good,” Donald Trump told American channel Fox News.
India manufactures around 70 per cent (approximately 20 crore tablets of 200 mg each) of the world’s hydroxychloroquine supply. The medicine has been identified by the United States’ Food and Drug Administration as a possible treatment for COVID-19 cases.
On Tuesday, the government said India would allow export “in view of the humanitarian aspects of the pandemic”.
