Donald Trump Says India Does Not Give A 'Straight Count' On COVID-19 Deaths
US President Donald Trump has said that India does not give a "straight count" on the COVID-19 deaths. Trump also said that the pandemic was China's fault.
The first face-off in a debate between Donald Trump and challenger Joe Biden was full of personal attacks. Be it name-calling or accusations, it was a heated affair.
The main issue was the response of US to COVID. Trump did not shy away from highlighting the lives lost.
When asked about US having the most cases and deaths, Trump said India does not share accurate figures of lives lost due to the disease.
¡°India does not give a straight count on COVID-19 deaths,¡± he told debate moderator Chris Wallace.
