Washington: India is currently reeling under the second wave of Covid-19 , a major setback to India after US President Joe Biden banned the export of raw materials needed to make India’s vaccine. Biden’s decision has been widely criticized elsewhere, including in India, but after talks between Indian NSA Doval and US NSA Jake Sullivan, the US has stepped back from its ban and is calling for all kinds of support. Now a big statement has come from the US President in which he has reiterated his commitment to helping India.
