Until a few weeks ago, ventilators were missing in the USA. Now it seems that an overproduction has been reached. President Trump wants to have the surplus delivered to other states<\/span><\/strong> – this offer also applies to Germany. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Article\/ Source from german version: https:\/\/www.tagesschau.de\/ausland\/usa-beatmungsgeraete-hilfe-101.html<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n US corporations also agreed to supply tens of thousands of devices<\/strong><\/span>. Trump had requested a total of around 190,000 devices of various types. Now the USA seems to have reached overproduction with this measure. Not all ventilators could be needed, although the USA is the country with the most confirmed coronavirus cases and fatalities worldwide. More than 890,000 infections and more than 51,000 deaths have now been reported there.
US President Donald Trump has offered ventilators to Germany, among others, during the coronavirus crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trump said at a press conference at the White House that the USA would send ventilators to Mexico, Honduras, and France, among others<\/span><\/strong> – and Germany<\/span>, “should they need it”.
Respirators were missing in many places during the first weeks of the pandemic when treating Covid-19 patients in the US. A shipment even came from Russia, mainly to cope with the exploding numbers of critically ill patients in major cities like New York.
“King of ventilators”
This deficiency became a political issue that threatened to damage Trump’s crisis management. He had therefore <\/strong>introduced a law for wartime companies to manufacture ventilators<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is not known how many devices have actually been manufactured. The US president called the USA the “king of respirators” because of the overcapacity in the past days. He announced even then that he would help other states.<\/strong>
