Trump speaking at the Phoenix mask factory on Tuesday
The United States President Donald Trump said he’s sending 250 ventilators to Nigeria to help fight the coronavirus.
He revealed on Tuesday the size of the aid he promised Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari during a phone conversation last week.
He 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.
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.
