BEIJING, April 30 (Xinhua) As the United States was closely watched when a second wave of COVID-19 hit India, there is anger that Washington did not act faster to help India just months after it was identified as a key ally in Asia, a U.S. newspaper has said. Already, many are asking if this is too little, too late, said The Washington Post on Wednesday, referring to the U.S. assistance. On Monday, U.S. President Joe Biden told Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi that the United States would provide oxygen-related supplies, vaccine materials and therapeutics, according to the newspaper.
