Washington (CNN)The Trump administration is appealing to countries around the world to give or sell the US items as basic as hand sanitizer and as complex as respirators to combat the surging coronavirus pandemic.

In a list obtained by CNN, the State Department lays out 25 items, telling diplomats to ask their host countries for these supplies with a clear priority on items available "today" and a secondary focus on equipment and items available in weeks.

Where are those lambasting our government for accepting the offer of free equipment?

clevvermind:

Came in to look for their finance ministry begging people on twitter.

List obtained by CNN given to diplomats to ask countries to give or sell.

They are ready to buy, but should moral obligation forbid you from selling to them, they will not reject it.

FG and States are begging online daily and your finance Ministry is begging private individuals on twitter and you are defending Buhari.

Defending a government that should have by now told us what the money donated have been used for so far rather they are telling us it takes 10k to test one Nigerian.

You can't be serious.

The US is pushing their diplomats to go ask for help, same way the Ministry in Nigeria is asking for help. If you call one begging, you should call the other begging too. You beg for something if you want it for free.

sapientia:


In a supposed list obtained by CNN. Same CNN.

Hey, please, different things rocks our boat.

If you believe FG is doing well by begging online everyday.. Carry on.

amc:


So if the report was genuine, would it be okay to beg for supplies at a time of a pandemic?
