Overall, COVID-19 cases in India and the US have been rising steadily.
PM Modi said that India is working closely with the US to fight the COVID19 pandemic which has killed thousands and infected over a million across nations.
Apart from the virus, it is the crashing economy that has caused serious concern across the countries as businesses and flights have been stopped due to which international trade has been hit badly.
Donald Trump had tested negative for COVID19 for a second time, according to the White House physician Sean Conley.
“The President tested negative for COVID-19,” Conley wrote.
Trump was first tested for coronavirus on March 14 after a Brazilian official who previously met him at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida had tested positive.
