[House Atreides]

Yay!!!!

[CottonBall]

Excellent. This is something that should be done anyway, and the Coronavirus only shows people why.

[eartick]

Great move

[cba123]

FINALLY!

Now electronics.

[Regulator]

Imagine if we didn’t have Trump as President.

The Beast would be prostrating herself to the ChiComs begging for crumbs.

But it had to come to people dying in this country to get this? After so many of us pointed this out time and again for the last 20 years? And were told Oh Don’t Worry?

[Taxman]

The Federal government, through onerous taxes and regulations CAUSED this “outsourcing” of manufactured goods and medicines, beginning 30 years ago?

The mantra, “Cheap Chinese stuff” is “good” for America took a nose dive, didn’t it?

This coronavirus black cloud may have a silver lining, mightn’t it?

“Made in America” might just be back in style!

Now all we have to do is get rid of the politicians an businessmen who sold us down the Chinese river!

This will be great in the long term. It will be interesting to see how quickly they can get production lines going in the US. Sometimes a company gets lucky. My former employer was trying to scale up production of curtains with superior light blocking characteristics. I was pleasantly surprised to discover there is lots of mothballed equipment for sale on the secondary market. The asset value of the equipment had been written off by companies by depreciation over many years. We were able to get the machines for a decent price and the seller got “money for scrap”. We called that “win-win”.

It seems odd to buy our medicine from the same people who are developing bioweapons that they are planning to use against us.

[ncpatriot]

Great! Great! Great!!

[LibertyWoman]

And lightbulbs!! GW signed that ignorant bill banning incandescent bulbs which closed the ‘only’ lightbulb factory in America.

[TianaHighrider]

Praise God🙏💃❣❤❣

[griswold3]

Why hand your enemy the weapon with which they can destroy you?
Economic warfare is alive and well

I think anyone who isn't financially and/or politically tied to the PRC finds it odd.

[TrueFact]

This is exactly what needs done. Next it to extract ourselves from China for all the other stuff in our supply chain. And why [WHY???] is Boeing building jets in China?

[hondact200]

So true. End the Made in China to Made in the USA

[Persevero]

EXCELLENT! A huge silver lining

[AndyJackson]

The Beast would be prostrating herself to the ChiComs begging for crumbs.

Our elite have become like junkies in their rush to sell out whatever they can to the Chinese to get their next fix.

This all had to end, and it's going to be a lot uglier than anyone knows. It always is. But we will get through it. In the words of Churchill, "you can always count on the Americans to do the right thing after they have exhausted all other possibilities."

.@CBSNews confirms the White House is working on an Executive Order to decrease American dependence on foreign countries and to bring production back to the US by requiring federal agencies looking to purchase pharmaceuticals and medical supplies/equipment to “Buy American”

Peter Navarro tells @CBSNews the Trump admin is looking to tighten domestic procurement through a 3-pronged strategy: “Buy American,” streamlining regulations, & incentivizing new technologies. The EO targets “essential medicines,” “medical countermeasures,” & their supply chains.
