Emmanuel Macron Calls on EU to Match U.S.’ COVID Vaccine Donations

French President Emmanuel Macron called for the European Union to match the United States' efforts in donating COVID-19 vaccines to developing countries—African nations in particular—at a news conference on Thursday, the Associated Press reported.

The U.S. promised to donate 500 million Pfizer vaccines by mid-2022 to 92 countries and the African Union.

"I think the European Union needs to have at least the same level of ambition as the United States," Macron said.
