Trump Says Coronavirus Pandemic Reaffirms Importance of Domestic Vital SUPPLY Chains: 'We Cannot Outsource Our Independence'
Newsweak ^ | 4/20/20 AT 7:12 PM EDT | BY JEFFERY MARTIN

During Monday's coronavirus task force meeting, President Donald Trump emphasized the importance of U.S. manufacturing in keeping supply chains secure during the coronavirus pandemic and beyond, particularly in the area of pharmaceuticals.

China has imported pharmaceutical products to the U.S. since the 1990s, becoming the United States' second-largest exporter of medications and medical supplies. However, the Trump administration has looked at ways to diminish China's role in the U.S. pharmaceutical supply chain.

Defense Production Act policy coordinator and Director of Trade and Manufacturing Policy Peter Navarro said in March he was working in collaboration with Trump on an executive order that would incentivize American production of pharmaceuticals.

It needs to go beyond an EO. We need legislation that’s harder for a future Clinton or Obama to reverse.

Hi again.

Me again. This is the correct version of this post.

Except it is posted from Newsweak.

I didn’t like the title in all-caps, so changed it all to lower-case.

Except I accidentally didn’t change one word, ‘SUPPLY’

Could that please be changed to lower-case ‘supply’ ?

Now I will stop bothering you.

I promise.

THANK YOU!!

:)

30 years ago I and MANY others here thought it was the greatest thing along with NAFTA.

Maybe you had the insight at the time. Some people do.

i thought it would potentially take down the regime...wrong. And the trade would be semi even..wrong

And NAFTA...forget about it

But hey, I voted for bush a second time after he went into Iraq, the one country that was Iran’s foil...and made a mess of the whole region.

As Trump concerns himself with America's supply chains, keeping businesses afloat and the economy viable, and protecting the American People,

Democrats demand what's in it for them.

President Trump and the American People are true heroes.

Democrat politicians and their fellow travellers, especially the so-called "news reporters" of the media, are the antithesis of heroic. They deserve and will receive the utter contempt and opprobrium of honest people everywhere and for all time.

What else could be expected from the political party that has championed every evil from slavery and the ku klux klan to voter fraud, illegal immigration, and infanticide to exploiting the coronavirus pandemic for their own evil, self-serving purposes?

Number one lesson learned, we cannot blindly trust subject matter “experts,” no matter how long they’ve been entrenched in the bureaucracy...

China has imported pharmaceutical products to the U.S. since the 1990s...

Does nobody at Newsweek know the difference between 'import' and 'export'?

If it’s too dangerous to be out, it’s too dangerous for truckers to be delivering to highly infected areas. If truckers stopped restocking food stores in New York, DC, Philly, etc, democrat attitudes would change.

“Ignorance”? If you want to continue to believe experts that have been wrong by orders of magnitude, go for it. Hide at home while our basic rights are eroded and our economy is destroyed if you like. If you want to wear a mask and don’t want to associate with people like me, that’s your right. However, many of us who are losing our businesses, our retirement and everything we’ve worked for are more than willing to risk our safety to keep our country and our basic freedoms intact as so many before us have done.

“So, you believe that ignorance must prevail”

So you agree with the ‘experts’ who said that once China modernized and built up their economy, they would become a free country? (and that was long before Coronavirus)

Us ‘ignorants’ said they need to rid themselves of Communism FIRST.

Who was right?

You are performing well as a Monday Morning Water Boy, not a quarterback, but a waterboy.

They analyzed available data and made projections

You on the other hand are looking backward and have no expertise at all.

You are foundering in fake news

I have no memory of experts claiming China would become a free country. Yours is pretty much a Fake Post

You don’t know a damned thing about me. I’m an applied mathematician and retired intelligence/counterterrorism officer and I’ve been tracking statistics worldwide since mid-December; you know, back when Fauci said the threat was “miniscule.” Maybe you should do a little research yourself and come to your own, independent conclusions.

And you might want to reconsider your obvious tendency to call people names; you sound like a Democrat.

“You are foundering in fake news...I have no memory of experts claiming China would become a free country. Yours is pretty much a Fake Post”

It’s probably best if you stay out of adult discussions, due to your level of IGNORANCE (and no doubt inability to accept to such). Here is your Dear Leader, George W. Bush talking in 2000:

“I believe that trade serves the deepest interests of our country and advances the hopes of the Chinese people for a freer society. Our greatest export is not food or movies or even airplanes. Our greatest export is freedom. The people of China stand ready to receive it. The demand has never been greater.”

https://www.nytimes.com/2000/05/18/world/in-bush-s-words-join-together-in-making-china-a-normal-trading-partner.html

He was flat-out WRONG about what trade would do to China.

DEAL WITH IT.

you spin the Bush quote into fake news

The fact that Freedom was offered is not the same as Freedom being accepted.

Therefore, you have what amount to two fake posts
