The US has been accused of blocking or diverting medical goods that have been ordered by other countries to combat the coronavirus pandemic.

In the last week, Germany, France, and Brazil have individually claimed that their medical supply orders from China were diverted in suspicious circumstances.

The government of Barbados said that US officials blocked the export of 20 ventilators which had been donated to the island.

The Trump administration said the reports of US misconduct are "completely false."

The US has been accused of commandeering shipments of masks, ventilators, and other essential medical equipment destined for other countries, as the market for coronavirus supplies becomes increasingly fraught.

Government officials are questioning methods used by the White House to acquire supplies, said to include diverting a shipment of masks intended for German police, and outbidding the original buyers on a large shipment of protective gear bound for France.

The Trump administration has pushed back hard against the reports, describing them in a statement to Politico as "completely false."

These are the countries that have so far been affected.
