German official says US resorting to 'methods from the Wild West' after accusations that it confiscated masks bound for Germany from Thailand

Berlin's state minister of the interior, Andreas Geisel, accuses Washington of"modern-day piracy" after 200,000 highly sought-after FFP2 masks destined for use by Berlin police were"confiscated" in Thai capital.

The United States diverted a delivery of Chinese-made face masks bound for Germany at a Bangkok airport, a Berlin city official said on Friday, accusing Washington of "modern-day piracy" as competition for protective gear against the coronavirus heats up. "At the moment we assume this is in connection with the US government's export ban on masks," the statement said.President Donald Trump, after a late start in procuring urgently needed protective gear, has in recent days invoked the Defense Production Act to get US firms to divert their resources to the battle against the pandemic.
