		</div><p>Britain has asked the US for 200 ventilators to fight the coronavirus pandemic, US President Donald Trump has said.</p>
<p>Mr Trump made the claim during his daily press briefing at the White House on Monday.</p>
<p>He said the UK made the urgent plea as ministers scramble to boost capacity for the sickest of patients.</p>
<p><em>“The UK called today and they wanted to know would it be possible to get 200,”</em> the president said.</p>
<p><em>“We’re going to work it out, we’ve got to work it out.</em></p>
<p><em>“They’ve been great partners. They wanted 200, they need them desperately.”</em></p>
<p>Mr Trump’s statement comes a day after defence firm Babcock said it had received a Government order to produce 10,000 ventilators.</p>
<p>The British Government has said 30,000 ventilators will be needed for the NHS to cope with the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic.</p>
