US promises Colombia 'critical resources' to confront coronavirus pandemic
by Adriaan Alsema April 24, 2020
US President Donald Trump agreed to send medical aid to Colombia to help confront the coronavirus crisis, the White House and President Ivan Duque said Thursday.
In his daily Facebook Live transmission, Duque said he had a “friendly conversation” with his US counterpart in which the two “primarily expressed our solidarity.”
According to the president, Trump confirmed that US authorities would “provide us with access to any type of equipment that is important for dealing with” the contingency of the virus.
Specifically, Colombia would be receiving ventilators that are crucial to treat patients suffering respiratory illnesses, said Duque.
