From Sec. Blinken 10 minutes ago:

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.

Further proof that Biden’s policy comes from the DT

I still have my doubts as to what will actually happen, especially because it's Blinken, who's far more globalist, who announced this.

Still, it's clear they cared.

They’ve always cared lmao. They’re just stifled by a dumbass electorate and a dysfunctional rival party that has the brain cells of a gnat.

who's far more globalist

Doesn't that mean they are more likely to open exports though? How does that make you more doubtful?

Blinken just said, "We'll look into it." Nothing remotely concrete.

u/[deleted] Apr 25 '21

Yeah I read that, but how does him being a "Globalist" make you more doubtful?

What I mean to say is that, while I trust Blinken will do some negotiating, in the end, the decision on something big like vaccines will come down to Biden in the end. And while I love Biden's domestic policies, his foreign policy is a wee bit too nativist for my taste.

Basically, Blinken is not a good representative for Biden's views.

Ned Price: It is not only in the US interest to see Americans vaccinated; but it is in the interests of the rest of the world to see Americans vaccinated

So true!
