Unfortunately, he tested positive. And that\u201ds a terrible thing, but he\u201ds going to be great. I\u2019m sure he\u2019s going to be totally great. But they want ventilators. Italy wants ventilators, Spain wants ventilators, Germany wants ventilators,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThey\u2019re all calling for ventilators. Well, we\u2019re going to make a lot of ventilators and we\u2019ll take care of our needs, but we\u2019re also going to help other countries,\u201d said the President as he announced that in the next 100 days, the US will be making more than 100,000 ventilators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Responding to a question, Donald Trump said there is a very good chance that the US might not need that many.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I think frankly there is a great chance that we are not going to need that many. There are a lot of other people who are going to need them and we have countries all over the world that are friends of ours and we will help them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are in a position to do things that other countries can\u2019t, so we have sort of an interesting position. We can make them because we are going to be making over 100,000 pretty quickly so we can make them and if we donate them, that\u2019s okay because we can help Italy and UK, especially Boris Johnson. I mean when I say how are you feeling and the first thing Boris said to me is we need ventilators,\u201d President Trump said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Friday, he also invoked part of the Defense Production Act, requiring certain companies to produce ventilators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe need industrial mobilization to make adequate ventilators, particularly in the very short run to help the people in New York, Detroit, New Orleans, Chicago, Denver, Seattle all around this country as this virus bears down and the ventilators really the most important thing for patients who become most seriously ill. They are literally the lifeline for people,\u201d said the President\u2019s advisor Peter Navarro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The White House has been working with 10 different companies to manufacture ventilators. The federal government currently has 10,000 ventilators in stockpile and is ready to use them rationally across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile a Congressional delegation from the Washington State called the Trump administration to expedite the request for 1,000 additional ventilators from the Strategic National Stockpile (SNS).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Agencies Washington, March 28: The United States is ready to supply a large number of ventilators needed by its friends and allies in their fight against&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3256,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25,54],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3255","post","has-post-thumbnail","category-international","category-latest-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3255","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3255"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3255\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3256"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3255"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3255"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3255"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
