US President Donald Trump with Prime Minister Narendra Modi during their event in Gujarat earlier this year. The United States on Friday announced an additional grant of $3 million to help India fight the coronavirus. It was previously sanctioned $2.9 million earlier this month.

US Ambassador to India Kenneth Juster said the additional funding will further support India’s response to COVID-19.

“This additional funding to support India in its continuing efforts to combat COVID-19 is yet another example of the strong and enduring partnership between the United States and India,” a release issued by the US Embassy quoted the envoy as saying.
