Covid: 'Hel India in US national interest,' lawmakers write to Biden

美国议员致信拜登:“帮助印度符合美国的国家利益”

WASHINGTON: More than 50 US lawmakers have written to President Joe Biden urging him to bolster American assistance to New Delhi to overcome the coronavirus surge in India, asserting that enhanced help from Washington's, which stands at a modest $100 million, is in US national interest.

华盛顿：50多名美国议员致信美国总统乔·拜登，敦促其支持美国援助新德里，以遏制印度新冠病例的激增。他们表示，华盛顿援助印度(1亿美元)符合美国的国家利益。

“As long as COVID persists in India, there is the potential for additional variants that could pose a serious threat to a vaccinated America," the lawmakers, led by California Congressman Brad Sherman, the Democratic Chair of the Congressional India Caucus, warned in the March 12 letter, adding, "We must do our part to quell the virus anywhere and everywhere it persists."

“只要新冠病毒在印度持续存在，就有可能出现其他变种，对接种过疫苗的美国构成严重威胁，”由加州国会议员Brad Sherman领导的国会印度核心小组的民 主党主席在3月12日的信中警告说，“我们必须尽自己的一份力量，消灭任何地方的病毒。”

The lawmakers said based on their conversation with New Delhi's ambassador to the United States, Taranjit Singh Sandhu, India requires several items, most notably oxygen and oxygen production equipment, ventilators, and drugs such as Remdesivir and Tocilizumab.

这些议员说，根据他们与印度驻美国大使塔兰吉特·辛格·桑杜的谈话，印度需要几种物品，最重要的是氧气和氧气生产设备、呼吸机，以及瑞德西韦和托奇珠单抗等药物。

Asserting that it is also in the US interest for everyone in India to be vaccinated, the lawmakers urged the President provide New Delhi with vaccines to the extent it is possible, including millions of surplus doses of AstraZeneca shots the US is not using and is sitting on, and also make raw materials available to help India make more vaccines.

议员们称，印度人全部接种疫苗也符合美国的利益，他们敦促总统向新德里提供尽可能多的疫苗，包括数百万支美国未使用或搁置的阿斯利康过剩疫苗，并为印度生产更多疫苗提供原材料。
