US President Donald Trump has Thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and praised Indians after he got the green signal for exporting ‘Hydroxychloroquine‘ drug used in the treatment of malaria.

India is the largest manufacturer of hydroxychloroquine medicine used in the treatment of malaria.
Amid intense debate over the side effects of the use of ‘Hydroxychloroquine’ in the treatment of Covid-19, Trump has consistently been promoting this drug as an alternative to treating Covid-19.
India had earlier banned the export of more than two dozen chemicals, including this drug, amid the coronavirus epidemic.
Before removing the ban on exports, officials assessed how much the country needed this medicine in view of the coronavirus epidemic.
