EU nations make a demand to stop vaccine nationalism and export bans.
Porto The European Union called on the United States on Friday to start boosting its vaccine exports to contain the global COVID-19 crisis, and said that the would provide only a long-term solution at best. "We invite all those who engage in the debate of a waiver for (Intellectual Property) rights also to join us to commit to be willing to export a large share of what is being produced in that region," said EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.More Related News
