THE PRESIDENT: So we’ll be going to Camp David. We have a lot of meetings scheduled. I think they’ll be very successful meetings. We’re getting a lot of gear out. We’re getting a lot of gowns out — protective equipment. And the governors have all been very thankful. We received a lot of calls today from governors. They’re very thankful for the job we’re doing. And that’s good.
Do you have any questions? Please.
Q Yeah, what’s the topic of the discussion at Camp David this weekend?
THE PRESIDENT: Go ahead.
Q What’s the topic of the discussion at Camp David this weekend?
THE PRESIDENT: So we have a lot of discussions going on at Camp David, some military and some other than military. We’ll probably report back on it on Monday.
Q Why are you not wanting to talk to President Xi right now, of China?
THE PRESIDENT: I just don’t want to talk to him right now. We’ll — we’ll see what happens over the next little while. They’re buying a lot of our material. They’re spending a lot on the trade deal, but the trade deal — I don’t know, somehow I lost a little flavor for it. You can understand.
Go ahead.
Q Sir, how many ventilators are you sending to India?
THE PRESIDENT: We’re sending a lot of ventilators to India. I spoke to Prime Minister Modi, and we’re sending quite a few ventilators to India. We have a tremendous supply of ventilators . So —
Q Mr. President? Mr. President, right here.
Q Sir, who do you think should go to jail, sir?
THE PRESIDENT: Go ahead. Go ahead.
Q Mr. President, what do you make of the images of people with guns, weapons showing up at the Michigan capitol?
THE PRESIDENT: Say it?
Q What do you make of the images of people with weapons showing up at the Michigan capitol to protest? Are you okay with that?
THE PRESIDENT: I haven’t seen it.
Q You haven’t seen those pictures?
THE PRESIDENT: You’ll have to — you’ll have to tell me.
Yeah, go ahead.
Q Should a vaccine be free?
THE PRESIDENT: We’re looking at that, actually. But we’re making a lot of progress on vaccines. But we’ll be speaking to you very soon, and I think we’re going to have a very good couple of meetings at Camp David.
Thank you.
