The Biden administration is working to deploy additional supplies and support to India as the country faces a worsening Covid-19 outbreak, White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan tweeted on Sunday.

"The U.S. is deeply concerned by the severe COVID outbreak in India. We are working around the clock to deploy more supplies and support to our friends and partners in India as they bravely battle this pandemic. More very soon," Sullivan said.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken tweeted a similar message Saturday night, saying, "Our hearts go out to the Indian people in the midst of the horrific COVID-19 outbreak. We are working closely with our partners in the Indian government, and we will rapidly deploy additional support to the people of India and India's health care heroes."

The National Security Council has had meetings on how to aid the country over the weekend. And the Health and Human Services agency was working on the issue on Friday, according to a source familiar.

1. This is the right thing to do.

America is back. Thanks Joe!

2. If Americans don't want the vaccines we have on hand...

... and a friend or ally has an epidemic emergency, why not send them (and other supplies that Americans say they have no use for) to our friend in need?

Reminds me of FDR and, "If my neighbor's house is on fire and I have a length of garden hose...".

3. I'm sure this will PO the Trumphumpers

Even though they refuse the vaccine, they will be upset it will go to a grateful human. Just another example their screwed up morality.

4. Some of them might take the vaccine just to prevent foreigners from getting it

either way, it's a win-win.

India's production capacity is way bigger than ours so Biden is helping them get materials to produce it along with meds and PPE and other supplies.
