NEW DELHI: Within a day of reportedly threatening India with possible retaliation if New Delhi did not release stocks of an anti-malarial drug, being used to treat covid-19, US President Donald Trump late on Tuesday reversed his stance. “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. You know they put a stop because they wanted it for India. But there is a lot of good things coming from that," Trump told Fox News.
The reference was to a telephone conversation between Trump and Modi over the weekend during which the US president had requested the release of consignments of hydroxychloroquine
