As a Dutch citizen I would prefer Americans to have control over this technology than any other country. Merkel has never really cared for German/European citizens but rather for the rest of world. Perhaps it's a trauma of WW2, and she wants to do good.

However in these times it's important that own citizens are prio 1. Trump cares for Americans and America has hardly ever let it's Western European allies down.

From my perspective it's in good hands in the U.S. and I trust anything that comes out of it will also benefit the rest of the world eventually.

You seriously want to have a county that is touting America First for the last 4 years in control over medicine that might cure or at least protect your fellow citizens instead of your neighbor and biggest trading partner that is also part of the same governing organization?

You have to be a troll or have a very strange agenda, seriously.

Have you followed the situation in Europe lately? It's a mess. Also during these times, no coordination of the EU at all. When it comes to it, every country is on its own. But worst is that European leaders are afraid to quickly take (tough) measures, something American leaders have shown to do much easier.
