I don't always believe the news is telling the exact truth, instead they're cherry picking sound bites to push their agenda. Case in point on whether President Trump will send ventilators overseas, and not give them to the US first, he said:
"we have other companies that are doing ventilators, including General Motors. But we have nine other companies doing ventilators. As we
outpace what we need, we’re going to be sending them to Italy. We’re going to be sending them to France. We’re going to be sending them to Spain, where they have tremendous problems, and other countries as we — as we can. But the fact that we’re doing so many so quickly is a tribute to our great companies".
