“We just asked for $2.5 billion on getting everything ready just in case something should happen and also helping other nations that really aren't equipped to do it,” Trump said at a business forum in New Delhi.
The White House budget office said the funding would be used for vaccine development, treatment and protective equipment, but the amount of the request was quickly slammed by Democrats as insufficient.
The budget request came as coronavirus fears were credited with Monday's 1,000-plus-point drop in the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
The rapid spread of the virus and threat to the global economy has rocked financial markets, but Trump said he thinks China is getting the epidemic under control.
“They've had a rough patch and ... it looks like they're getting it under control more and more,” Trump said.
