The Trump administration has granted exclusions from import tariffs for more than 100 medical items imported from China, including face masks, examination gloves and sanitizing wipes

The exclusions were approved for 27 companies, all of which filed their requests before a Jan. 31 deadline. The coronavirus outbreak was still largely centered in China at that time, but U.S. companies were already girding for a pandemic.

Horrible!Chinese masks contain virus!We should ban all Chinese products!Chinese products are unsafe!Because a lot of Chinese workers are infected by coronavirus!They even don’t know they are infected because Chinese government won’t let them know!

Do not use MIC things. Even when they produce 80% of worlds' facial masks.

How about dropping ALL tariffs for the time being to encourage trade, keep supply lines open, remove the de facto tax on companies and consumers? Fiscal policy is not enough. We need monetary policy.

Don't buy anything from ccp and now start to build all kinds of manufacture in US. US Twitters will teach Trump administration how to make US great again!

So if I closed conducted a biological attack against us, we would have to ask for masks from them Man facepalming

China has bilions of 'slaves' they work much more sheep than the rest of the world. On midle age who had more slaves where the richest.

I have a better idea .... determine what of these products should be strategically important... then determine who will be tasked to manufacture them in America..

Foolish to have crucial medical products made in China.

How stupid the Trump Administration must be to think importing medical supplies from China is a good idea? Really? Are there companies in America that can make medical supplies?

Banging Baghwan style?
