Trade experts accuse President Trump of politicizing the pandemic and risking the lives of first responders by continuing to wage his trade war against China.

“China makes 120 million masks a day, while U.S. hospitals are asking volunteers to make them at home. We need Chinese PPE, ventilators and much more now.”

The proposed executive order isn’t the only White House trade policy hurdle facing healthcare providers. It has only been within the last two weeks that officials have exempted some of this equipment from Trump’s tariffs on Chinese imports, when the U.S. Trade Representative’s office suspended tariffs on a handful of Chinese medical supply imports.

Similarly, trade experts criticized the USTR’s opening of a docket inviting requests for additional tariff waivers as too little, too late.of medical supply shortages,” said Dean Pinkert, senior counsel at Hughes Hubbard & Reed, and a former commissioner with the International Trade Commission.

No one should ever trust a communist country. China is lying about their ’s and their dead. Meanwhile Russia, also guilty of not reporting; is lying in wait for US & China to fall apart. Then Russia hits when we least expect it. Russians are watching.

We don't have the stuff because of trump's tariffs ?

NBC should stop reporting anything immediately, they are terrible at it!!!

No, it was Obama and Bush letting all our production of that type of supplies and almost everything else move to Asia. Also, plenty of gowns and gloves are already getting to our hospitals. Stop your hate. Stop your propaganda and destabilizing our country.

We should me manufacturing our own medical equipment.

Duh!!! China is begging that we become weakened... Russia in the background creeping! Come try us please let a MF re-enlisted for a fight, it’s a whole new game now!!!

XiJingping is not an ally. China sent hundreds of thousands of defective test kits to Spain. This resulted in Spain having a widespread pandemic. China is withholding the export of American owned equipment to fight the pandemic, resulting in more deaths here.

False. Not true!

abysmal performance on covid 19 the gop couldn't do less if they tried at this point

These trade experts should be arrested for treason. Communist China has been threatening us to withhold medical supplies as a bargaining chip & they want us to go beg? Ask Italy & Spain about the faulty medical supplies they got from China.

those experts have really short view or blinded by short term profits, the origin of economic problems between America and CCP China is political, it's totalitarian vs democracy, it's fewer privileged class against mass other classes

Yes. He's an awful, awful human being.
