My legislation to secure our medical supply chains & reduce dependence on #China already has bipartisan support in the House. Proud to be joined by @RepGallagher & @repmarkpocan. Congress needs to pass emergency funding for #coronavirus AND secure our medical supply chain ASAP— Josh Hawley (@HawleyMO) March 3, 2020

Today #China threatened to block medical supplies & antibiotics to the US. This is unacceptable. The US can no longer tolerate a near total dependence on China for these things. We need to secure our medical supply chains now, & pass @HawleyMO’s legislation out of the House ASAP.
That needed to be done yesterday.
Tucker Carlson had a segment on his program maybe last Friday night in which he detailed how dependent the US is on China for all of its antibiotics and much of its other medicines.
He was saying that the US needs a Marshall plan to reverse this situation quickly.
I agree with him.
