5. Here's an article from a German source..

He supposedly wanted the company to only sell any vaccine they produce to the US. The Germans then countered offered. Meanwhile, the owners of the company are ordering Lamborghinis, and those $30,000 French handbags.

Okay. I made the last sentence up.

Whilst I'm not certain that this report is true, it would be very Trump-like to do something like this, so he could claim that he saved the country.

The governments of Germany and the United States are wrestling over the German-based company CureVac which is working on a vaccine for the novel coronavirus, reported German newspaper Welt am Sonntag.

The prominent German media outlet reported, citing unnamed sources, that US President Donald Trump was offering large sums of money to German scientists working on a vaccine. He wanted to secure exclusive rights to their work, the newspaper reported.

Trump was doing everything he could to secure a vaccine for the United States, "but only for the US," the newspaper quoted an anonymous German government source as saying.

The newspaper reported that the German government has tried to offer the company financial incentives to remain in Germany.
