India lifts export ban on Hydroxychloroquine

US President Donald Trump stated there “may be retaliation” if India did not allow the export of hydroxychloroquine, a drug he touted as a possible treatment for coronavirus. Hours after, India’s Ministry of External Affairs announced it would supply the drug to “nations who have been particularly badly affected by the pandemic.”
