US President Donald Trump has said that Pakistan has asked him to send ventilators for the victims of the coronavirus and he has agreed to do so.

At a White House briefing on US efforts to combat the disease, President Trump said that he spoke to a number of world leaders “who desperately need ventilators” and assured them that Washington would help them meet their needs.
