U.S. President Donald Trump announced on the 15th (local time) that he is considering providing the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) vaccine free of charge.
According to political media outlet The Hill and others, President Trump, while departing for Camp David, the presidential retreat in Maryland, responded to questions from reporters about free COVID-19 vaccine provision by saying, "We are actually considering that." The Hill assessed that the Trump administration is facing pressure from the progressive camp to ensure affordable pricing for the COVID-19 vaccine.

President Trump's remarks came shortly after the U.S. administration announced the so-called 'Operation Warp Speed,' a collaboration with private organizations to produce and distribute the vaccine by the end of this year. However, there have been skeptical reactions regarding President Trump's view that the vaccine can be developed by the end of the year.
