India will supply key drugs being tested as coronavirus cure to “nations that have been badly affected” by the pandemic, the government said today, hours after US President Donald Trump’s stunning comments about “retaliation” if Prime Minister Narendra Modi did not allow the export of anti-malarial drugs.
India, which supplies more than a quarter of the world’s generic drugs, had last month restricted exports of 26 pharmaceutical ingredients and the medicines made from them to ensure enough domestic stocks amid rising COVID-19 cases.
