US President Donald Trump has raised questions about the credibility of India’s Covid-19 count, stating that it was among the countries that did not accurately disclose the number of deaths due to the pandemic.
Trump’s remarks came during his first presidential debate with Democratic challenger Joe Biden, who attacked the US president for handling the coronavirus crisis and said the president lied to Americans about the Covid-19 pandemic, It has killed more than 200,000 people and infected more than seven million people in the country.
In defense of his handling of the crisis, Trump said “millions” could have died in the United States without his actions.
“When you talk about the pending numbers, you don’t know how many people died in China. You don’t know how many people died in Russia. You don’t know how many people died in India. They don’t exactly give you a correct number. So you understand, ”Trump said.
Trump has repeatedly blamed China, where the coronavirus first appeared in December last year and spread around the world, killing more than a million and infecting more than 30 million people.

In attacking Trump for handling the Covid-19 pandemic, Biden said the president “has no plans” to combat the deadly disease and lied to Americans.
“He hasn’t even acknowledged that he knew this was happening, he knew how dangerous it was going to be in February and he didn’t even tell you. It is registered by saying it. He panicked or he just looked at the stock market, one of the two, because guess what, a lot of people die and a lot more are going to die unless he gets a lot smarter, a lot faster, “he said.
Trump responded by saying, “Never use the word smart with me.” During the first of three presidential debates in Cleveland, Ohio on Tuesday night, which was marked by angry interruptions and bitter accusations, the two candidates fiercely clashed over a number of issues, including racism, the economy and the weather. .
