trumpYesterday, President Trump delivered remarks at the Clyde, Ohio Whirlpool Manufacturing Plant where he vowed to always put American workers first. President Trump assured workers that America will beat the invisible enemy and emerge more prosperous and resilient than ever before. President Trump also promised to transform America into the world’s premier medical manufacturer, pharmacy, and drugstore. Beyond our medical supply chains, President Trump pledged to continue his efforts to create and onshore millions of new manufacturing jobs across all sectors that are vital to our national security and prosperity.

STRENGTHENING MEDICAL SUPPLY CHAINS:

  • President Donald J. Trump is taking bold action to re-shore production of essential medicines, medical countermeasures, and critical inputs.
  • Today, President Trump signed an Executive Order to increase American production of essential medical supplies and cut down our reliance on foreign producers of medicines.
  • Under the order, the Commissioner of Food and Drugs is directed to create a list of medicines, medical countermeasures, and critical inputs that are essential for public health in America.
  • Each agency will consider using its authority to limit competition in government procurement of these essential items to American manufacturers.
  • The order will support American jobs by accelerating the domestic manufacturing of essential medicines, medical countermeasures, as well as their critical inputs, and ensuring long-term demand for those products.
  • To support the production of advanced pharmaceutical ingredients and essential medicines in America, the order also directs agencies to prioritize permitting and approvals for domestic manufacturers.

PROTECTING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE:

  • To protect the American people during a public health crisis, it is imperative that our Nation has a resilient public health industrial base with strong domestic supply chains for essential medicines, medical countermeasures, and critical inputs.
  • America’s supply chains must be capable of meeting national security requirements for responding to public health emergencies and other threats.
  • Our Nation’s reliance on foreign countries for critical medical supplies is not sustainable and leaves the American people incredibly vulnerable.
  • By relocating medical supply chains back home, President Trump is ending this foreign reliance and ensuring that our Nation has the resources necessary to respond to public health emergencies and security threats.

SUPPORTING AMERICAN PRODUCTION:

  • The Trump Administration is supporting a deal to transform Kodak into a pharmaceutical company that can help produce essential medicines in the United States.
  • The Administration has taken over 30 actions under the Defense Production Act (DPA) to provide billions of dollars in critical support for essential medical resources and our defense industrial base.
  • The President has used the DPA to mobilize the private sector and massively ramp up production of ventilators, swabs, masks, and other critically-needed medical supplies.
  • Through Operation Warp Speed, the Administration is working with the private sector and the scientific community to quickly deliver safe and effective vaccines and therapeutics to the American people in record time.

Speech was okay, until he turned to political rally & started bashing Biden. This was a low point for Trump when he stated Biden is against God and is against guns. And then he calls out media for fake news. I wish POTUS would quit attacking other people in public & especially Americans. He must realize someday that he is not running a business & can fire everyone that does something he does not like or support. Trump needs to realize that he is the President of every citizen in US and not just people that he likes cuz they are bobbin heads.
