Coronavirus: Former British PM calls on US and China to end 'vaccine nationalism'

Mr Brown is calling on US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping to participate in an online summit on May 4.

Former British prime minister Gordon Brown has called on the US and China to “step up to the plate” and pledge to join a multi-billion pound drive to prevent a second wave of coronavirus.

The ex-PM has said the two economic giants are facing an “appointment with destiny” as he urged them to become involved in raising an $8bn Covid-19 “fighting fund” to pay for vaccines, treatments and test kits for developing countries.
