Trump said he spoke by telephone to the presidents of Indonesia, Ecuador, El Salvador and Honduras and promised that the United States would send the vital medical equipment. Michael Kozak, the top US diplomat for Latin America, confirmed the United States was selling the ventilators.“I think in many of these cases that the countries just want to buy them.

With companies such as Ford and General Motors switching to ventilator production, Trump has boasted that the country as a whole is in good shape and said foreign leaders were asking him for supplies.
