Do you know of any concrete steps the Trump administration has taken to change the fact that 80% of our medical supplies currently come from China? Puerto Rico used to be a supplier of medical supplies, then that was gone. I wonder if the infrastructure is still there ready to be restored to quick manufacture.

“””Do you know of any concrete steps the Trump administration has taken to change the fact that 80% of our medical supplies currently come from China?””””


Medicines and supplies from China were probably not at the top of the list for Trump. He was first concerned about bringing steel and aluminum production back to the USA. A country cannot rely upon other countries to supply the raw materials for battleships and jet planes.

National security is important.

Now that the issue of medical supplies is in the forefront of USA citizens, we should expect Trump to bring that production home.
