Meanwhile, several lawmakers and governors have urged the Biden administration to ensure India receives Covid vaccines and medical aid, saying the crisis in the country is "devastating" and that the US has a responsibility to help its close allies fight the pandemic.
"The crisis in India is devastating and demands more action from (US President Joe) Biden. More COVID-19 vaccines and medical supplies are needed to help one of our most important global allies fight this virus," Texas Governor Greg Abbott said.
In a tweet, he urged US citizens to join him in praying for India.
Republican Senator Ted Cruz said that almost 300 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines have been administered in the US.
