Narendra Modi to Donald Trump: ‘Will aid humanity’s fight’
Donald Trump (L) and Narendra Modi.
New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on Thursday, said India will do everything possible to help humanity’s fight against Covid-19. Modi said this in a tweet quoting US President Donald Trump’s tweet in which the latter thanked the former for allowing a shipment of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) to the US.
Fully agree with you President @realDonaldTrump. Times like these bring friends closer. The India-US partnership is stronger than ever.

India shall do everything possible to help humanity's fight against COVID-19.
We shall win this together. https://t.co/0U2xsZNexE
Although the efficacy of the antimalarial drug is not proven against the new coronavirus infection, some sections of the medical society believe it has helped COVID-19 patients. Trump touted the drug as a “game changer” in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic.
Interestingly, this comes days after Trump talked of “retaliation” if India didn’t lift a hold on HCQ exports. Trump expressed gratitude to India after New Delhi allowed shipments of the drug to the US among some other countries.
