TIL that Brazil ordered 8k ventilators & paid for them, but before they were shipped USA went to the supplier & said, "Whatever they paid we'll pay more, and we'll pay the contact break fee." Supplier accepted.
1000s & 1000s of Brazilians will die because of this. #COVIDー19
I've also found out from a French person that they're doing the same with masks ordered by France.
USA government would throw the entire global community and every other country under a bus if they think it helps them. They are literally doing it right now by scalping medical supplies from other countries. Let's remember this next time they ask for help.
