The Trump administration's donation of 2 million doses of hydroxychloroquine to Brazil has been mostly untouched since arrival, Brazilian officials have told CNN.

So why haven't the pills been distributed?

The delivery soon went into storage near Sao Paulo's airport, Renato Strauss, a spokesman for the Health Ministry said. Two months later, the pills are still being held in a logistics center, according to Strauss. That work would be carried out at a Brazilian Army laboratory in Rio de Janeiro, and other official labs, he added. Strauss did not explain why that has yet to happen, although experts say this could be because the process is costly and time-consuming. Another spokeswoman for the health ministry said Anvisa -- Brazil's health regulatory body -- gave permission for the process to begin last week.

New Jersey Sen. Robert Menendez, the top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, however, noted that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has revoked authorization for hydroxychloroquine as a COVID-19 treatment. "President Trump clearly doesn't care about sound medical advice.
