“Mayor Bill de Blasio gave a special thanks Friday to President Trump and the commander-in-chief’s senior adviser and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, for making good on a promise to get 200,000 N95 masks to city hospitals amid the coronavirus pandemic.

De Blasio, speaking during a press briefing on COVID-19, said that he was on a phone call with Trump and Kushner Thursday and 'they said they would produce' the load of N95 masks to the city’s public healthcare system,” wrote the Post.
