President Donald Trump's E.O. that would help relocate medical supply chains from overseas to the United States, as the coronavirus outbreak exposes the vulnerabilities of foreign supply chains.
White House trade adviser Peter Navarro, director of the Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy, told CNBC that the United States is heavily dependent on the global supply chain “not just for its medicines but for its medical supplies and medical equipment.”
“The essence of the order … is to bring all of that home so that we don’t have to worry about foreign dependency,” he said in a March 16 interview, adding that 70 percent of the ingredients used in advanced pharmaceuticals “comes from abroad.”
Navarro didn’t specifically name which foreign countries, but experts have long pointed to U.S. dependence on China. Rosemary Gibson, a senior adviser at the Hastings Center, a bioethics research institute, and the co-author of “China Rx: Exposing the Risks of America’s Dependence on China for Medicine,” told The Epoch Times previously that it’s “a risk to our national security.”
“For prescription drugs, 90 percent of the core ingredients, the chemicals, and other ingredients depend on China,” Gibson said.
Navarro said the departments of Veterans Affairs, Health and Human Services, and Defense buy significant amounts of medical equipment, and “we need to have them buy that from American producers on American soil.”
He noted that the current demand for medical masks exposes the pitfalls of foreign supply chains.
Earlier this month, the Trump administration granted exemptions from tariffs on medical products imported from China, which include protective masks and medical gloves.
