War of Masks: Tricks to win a mask

A week ago, a source from VOV said that French and German officials have accused the US of paying much higher prices than the common ground to win contracts from China. France and Germany had to loosen even when the US "steal" their contracts.

“The use of money here is not appropriate. They are willing to pay anything because they are so in need of masks. Americans are using a lot of money to achieve their goals, ”German Chancellor Angela Merkel criticized.

In Brazil, Health Minister Luiz Henrique Mandetta said China had stopped some of its orders after the US government sent 20 transport planes to China to buy the same products that Brazil had previously ordered. amount up to USD 228 million. Without the "extraordinary intervention," these shipments would have been shipped to Brazil within the next 30 days.

Another case also concerns Germany. A government’s company which is responsible for ordering mask said things began to change in the last week of March when the US’s "presence" became increasingly apparent in the market. According to the company, a completion of order does not mean the goods will be delivered, because the market demand is much greater than the supply.

In France, the same situation is happening. Grand Est Regional Council President Jean Rottner said: “competition of Masks is a constant situation and shipments can be moved at any time, even at the last minute. On the runway, Americans always pay cash, 3-4 times the price of ours ".
