While President Trump takes steps to bring vital industries back to the United States, the Chamber of Commerce is already warning that the U.S. must continue to be reliant on foreign countries for goods, products, and supplies.
This week, Trump announced a multi-million contract with Phlow Corporation, based in Richmond, Virginia, to begin returning pharmaceutical production to the U.S.
“This is a great day for America,” White House trade adviser Peter Navarro said of the move. ...

In an online conference, reported by Reuters, Chamber of Commerce CEO Tom Donohue said the U.S. must not reshore all of its production back to America and must stay reliant on foreign supply chains.
“Protecting the resiliency of our supply chain doesn’t have to mean reshoring all production in the United States,” Donohue said.
Donohue said there will “continue to be a huge place in the U.S. economy for a global supply chain.”
As Breitbart News has chronicled, the U.S. has suffered from a shortage of vital drugs, rubber gloves, and plastic bottles due to decades-long free trade policies. The plurality of these basic necessities are made in China.
Research by the Coalition for a Prosperous America (CPA) has revealed that reshoring all pharmaceutical production to the U.S. would create more than 800,000 American jobs. Likewise, reshoring all medical supplies to the U.S. has the potential to create more than 300,000 American jobs.

Does this Chamber of Commerce Donohue guy get bribed in US dollars, Chinese yuan, or gold?
Just asking for a friend.
Tom is cashing his CCP check.
Who’s paying for Tom’s sailboat?
“Some” is not “all.” Maybe half?
How do you make cheap assembled in America shit if you don’t start by importing cheap CHICOM crap? Well, we’re waiting.
The US Chamber of Commerce represents foreign interests over our own.
The Chamber of Commerce has been anti American for some time now.
Onshore ALL the pharmaceutical, and apply tariffs so the price of the imported drugs or drug ingredients is equal to or MORE than the onshore production.
Just what IS the Chamber of Commerce, anyway? Some kind of advocacy group for the Chinese hegemony?
Next thing you know C of C will have us trading with Iran and North Korea.
What an asswipe! Not “ALL” production MOROON! Essential products like MEDICAL. We’ll still buy your cars!
The Mitt Romneys of the world speak.
Maintaining the maximum possible profit margin is all that matters apparently.
As long as the money is good, doesn’t matter.
Exactly, pretentious ba$+ards. Bttt and shut the the Commie traitors down!!!
