Addressing media earlier in the day, Donald Trump had said that the United States is working with India on developing a vaccine for Covid-19. Donald Trump also praised Indian-Americans as “great” scientists and researchers.
Donald Trump said he is hopeful a Covid-19 vaccine would be available by the end of the year, and announced he was appointing a former pharmaceutical executive to spearhead the effort.
“I just got back a short while ago from India recently and we are working very much with India and we have a tremendous Indian population in the US and many of the people that you are talking about are working on the vaccine too. Great scientist and researchers,” Donald Trump told reporters.
“Yes. We are working very closely also with India,” Donald Trump said responding to a question.
