Trump officials are weighing a partial lift of the clampdown on sending medical supplies that has prevented USAID from shipping protective gear to countries in desperate need of help fighting the coronavirus
The memo is titled “Essential Medical Supplies for Foreign Assistance” and would allow the direct procurement of some supplies for foreign countries, according to the officials.on some coronavirus aid that had been put in place in recent weeks. A government review process effectively froze the delivery of protective gear to at least 13 countries, including Vietnam, Bangladesh, Armenia and the Philippines.
“It’s actually quite sensible because it recognizes that we have a shortage of supplies here,” said a U.S. official. The memo would also clarify that USAID could continue to give medical supplies for existing global health programs, whether fighting HIV/AIDS or combating Ebola. “It’s helpful for that, to have something for that to continue,” one of the officials said. “So that’s positive.”
