President Joe Biden on Thursday laid out how the United States would share some 25 million of a planned 80 million Covid-19 vaccine doses with the rest of the world.

The United States will donate nearly 19 million doses of its Covid-19 vaccine supply through the COVAX international vaccine sharing program, he said in a statement.

The remaining doses, amounting to just over 6 million, would go directly from the United States to countries including Canada, Mexico, India and South Korea, he said. Biden has come under pressure from the world community to share the U.S. surplus of Covid-19 vaccines.

Biden warns of echoes of Tulsa massacre in the US todayJoe Biden on Tuesday became the first sitting US president to visit the site in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where hundreds of Black Americans were massacred by a white mob in 1921, and he said the legacy of racist violence and white supremacy still resonates. Killed by his party .democrats . Not even Obama 🤦‍♂️ I wouldn’t take Grandpa Biden too seriously, he doesn’t know where he is and what he’s saying anymore. Anyway the white ‘supremacist’ mob he referred to were made up of Democrats, Biden’s party, the same party which supported slavery. No need to thank me.
