US President Donald Trump announced that the United States will donate ventilators to India amid COVID pandemic outbreak.
Taking to twitter, Trump said, "I am proud to announce that the United States will donate ventilators to our friends in India. We stand with India and @narendramodi during this pandemic. We're also cooperating on vaccine development. Together we will beat the invisible enemy!"
Earlier in the day while launching 'Operation Warp Speed' to ready a vaccine against Covid-19 by the end of the year, he said, the US was working with India on the project.
He also acknowledged the work of Indian-Americans on vaccine development projects.
There is a "tremendous Indian population in the United States, many of the people you are talking about are working on the vaccine too. Great scientists and researchers," he said.
