India will allow some exports of the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine, the foreign ministry said, after US President Donald Trump urged New Delhi to release supplies of the drug seen as a possible treatment for Covid-19.
According to Reuters, the Indian government had earlier put a hold on exports of hydroxychloroquine as well as on the pain reliever, paracetamol, saying it had to meet its internal demand.
But Trump spoke to Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the weekend seeking supplies and later hinted that India may face retaliation.
