Topic: Trump stunned the Indian PM, but it’ll definitely pay off in the long run!!! (Read 123 times)

India has allowed HCQ exports to not only to America but to many other countries , and pharmaceutical  companies have increased production by 10 times , US got some HCQ orders cleared out and INDIA did a good job lifting export ban many countries need medicines to save life and mass production of this drugs is needed to fulfil the requirements

Now read the 2nd part of the story.

It's a part of the global strategy of US to keep India on their side because US needs a strong ally in Asia to keep the Chinese threat below the belt!

HCQ can be mass produced by India so it's not really a big deal!

Exactly. And if it doesn't work against CV-19, it is still a proven anti-malaria treatment.



I'm not sure about this, there are deeper moral implications. It's an anti-malaria drug, and if the Indian export ban was indeed an attempt to preserve domestic supplies, then the lifting of the ban raises profound concerns. Malaria is endemic in India.


India has also been quite successful in fighting the disease:




Trump has forced Modi to hand over medicine which may help fight CV-19, and which is proven to help fight malaria. Further, we all know (from being in crypto at least) that when there is high demand for something, and demand outstrips supply, then the price rises and whomever is willing to pay the most gets the product. The US has the most money. Trump's actions are taking proven life-saving medicine from poor Indians and giving it to rich Americans, whom it may or may not benefit.

This isn't black and white of course, Trump is acting to protect his citizens, which is his job, and he would be remiss in his duty not to do this. Also we don't know if India genuinely needs all of this medicine or whether they have a huge surplus. It would be unusual (unprecedented?) for Modi to actually have the moral high ground in any interaction. I'm not saying Trump is wrong, I'm just trying to highlight the complexity of the situation.

Not surprised. The US needs this sort of stuff to see if it can work for further testing on people, and India isn't exporting this potential lifesaving medicine that people need. It isn't a miracle drug, yet, but we'll see if it is in the coming days and weeks. I know thousands of New Yorkers (1500) are receiving it now who are suffering. If you're most likely going to die anyway, why not try some experimental treatments that may help someone.

Worth a shot, eh?

Interesting diplomacy by India. We don't have the specifics but it isn't surprising that they tried to reserve their stockpile. If hydroxychloroquine turned out to have clinical efficacy with studies backing it up, India would probably use up most of its stock over its 1.3 billion citizens and would prioritize that over giving handouts to the U.S. Modi and Trump seem to have a good relationship but India also faces population density issues with a lack of medical supplies so it's a wrap if coronavirus gets out of hand. There is no social distancing feasible.

It's business! The medicine in question, can be produced by India in large quantities. So supplying such medicines to US or to any country, is not a problem at all. I wonder why Trump will need to threaten Modi for that! Especially when US needs a strong ally in Asia to defeat China. But sadly, that's how international media portrays this incident.

The actual news is below,

Hope this clears the confusion!

The other day, there are news reports that US hijacked masks bound to France and beating other countries wanting to buy protection gears as well and then this threat to India. Who wouldn't be scared of the man who ordered dropping of bombs and missiles to another country and ordering the strike killing an Iranian high-ranking official like it was nothing?

Trump finally decided to take COVID-19 seriously.

Both the countries recently signed some deals when trump visits India in Feb and he said he had good friendship with current Indian Prime Minister Modi so that is the reason why they lifted some restrictions because it is for medical purpose and both leaders will get benefits from their action.

@Juggy777, sure.

I guess Trump is the last hope for AMerican's. Unfortunately, most of them are yet to understand this.
They keep fighting against him.

It's not about Trump (because he & his family will be fine if, he lose or win but, what about American's?)

I urge American's to watch out!!

Thanks

I really liked how Trump forced the Indian PM to hand him over the medicine that US badly needs to fight against COVID-19, and the best part is that he first made a kind request, and then immediately followed it by a threat which forced the Indian PM to immediately back down in matter of hours and comply with his request.

With this move he’s once again proved to the American people that he can get the work done, considering India has such a huge population and yet they’re forced to give US the medicine.

In the long run if this medicine cures Corona then he’ll definitely benefit in the form of votes, and he’ll win the elections easily.
