Donald Trump revealed
the size of the aid he promised Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari during a
phone conversation last week.
The United
States President Donald Trump said he’s sending 250 ventilators to Nigeria to
help fight the coronavirus.
United States
President Donald spoke during a visit to Honeywell International in Phoenix
Arizona. The company produces masks.
Trump claimed
during the visit that the U.S. has now flattened the curve on coronavirus.
He said he is
helping other nations, including Nigeria with essential medical supplies.
“We have more
ventilators now than anybody in the world and we are helping France, as you
know. We are helping France, Italy, Spain, Nigeria. We are giving I think 250
to Nigeria. We have many countries that we are helping,” he said.
“Thanks to
the profound commitment of our citizens, we have flattened the curve and
countless American lives have been saved. Our country is now in the next stage
of the battle. A very safe, phased and gradual reopening of our country,” Trump
said in his remarks at Honeywell International in Phoenix.
According to
worldometers.info, which tracks coronavirus patients, by Tuesday, 72,275
Americans had died due to the deadly virus and 1,237,761 had tested positive.
However,
there has been a sharp decline in the number of new cases and deaths in the
country in the last one week.
This prompted
Trump to say that the country has been able to flatten the curve.
This
pandemic, he said, has underscored the vital importance of reassuring U.S.
supply chains and constructing a powerful domestic manufacturing base.
