This is an extremely important story, not least because of the way it was originally reported: That the US is trying to steal Germany's vaccine industry, and hoard the results for itself https://t.co/M1fb5o22vq— Anne Applebaum (@anneapplebaum) March 16, 2020
Far more than any stupid Trump tweets or insults, this will be remembered: At a time of crisis, the US president tried to undercut his supposed allies. That - along with cancelling flights without consulting anyone - is what US "leadership" amounts to right now.— Anne Applebaum (@anneapplebaum) March 16, 2020
