will sign an executive order requiring the U.S. government to buy "essential" drugs from American companies, White House trade advisor Peter Navarro announced Thursday.
The president is expected to sign the order during his trip in Ohio later Thursday, Navarro told reporters on a conference call. The United States is "dangerously over-dependent on foreign nations for our essential medicines." The order will require the U.S. government to develop a list of essential medicines and buy them from U.S. companies instead of from foreign countries like China, Navarro said. The World Health Organization already has a list of essential medicines, but the U.S. won't need some of those drugs because of "where we are located," he said.
JoshBarrowsSr It doesn’t matter what he does now...too little, too late.
USA Against Globalization Irony isn’t? with each passing day the Trump Administration rolls out order after orders that make US more cut of from the world. Unimaginable!
Blah, blah, blah...
I bet cory booker is pissed. He fights hard for big pharma
THIS EXECUTIVE ORDER WILL KILL MILLIONS OF AMERICANS. 'The order will also remove some of the regulations U.S. pharmaceutical manufacturers face and will fast-track the review process to make certain drug ingredients, he (Trump) said.'
ThinkTankCharts Domestic meth labs are already producing
He means essentially buy from his cronies.
It's about time!
Free market says what?
Time to buy Pharma stocks. I am sure Trump's inner circle of friends have some kind of 'understanding' about this and already preemptively bought some.
So much for the free market. Again.
American companies that buy the drugs from foreign companies!!! Like AstraZeneca buying a. Vaccine from China or Russia!!!

I'm assuming he owns the companies he plans on purchasing the unless drugs from.
Trump using the tax payers money to buy over priced drugs from American companies to en-rich his sponsors with no actual concern of the poor people in the US.
Sure signs a lot of executive orders for someone who’s such an amazing deal maker. What a f-ing joke. 🙄🤦♂️🙄
Just about time to say no to China and hello to US company. US company please don’t be greedy pig, be reasonable otherwise no one will buy your stuff.
I’ll vote for him just for this.
Instead of making kids go to school, what if we let them go to work with their parents, and let employers pay for teachers to come to teach them there? I mean employers are doing COVID modifications anyway. Why do it a second time in schools?
You’ve done so well with California Pelosi. Not. So bad here. People so unhappy. Why does it cost 6k to move here with a moving truck one way. Yet 600 bucks to move into here from other states. Huge flight out of California. We give up Pelosi. Your out of your mind
WTH? So Trump has investments in Kodak now, right?
Well I see it’s back to heard immunity. Why wait!!! These Politicians don’t give two shits about US. Omg test trace treatment. Like it’s a slogan. Tired of slogans Pelosi. So sick of playing games.
All of a sudden bigPharma loves him again..
So he hates Big Pharma so much that he gifts them billions of dollars. Ok.
A good idea is a good idea
What is phase in time? We don’t make drugs here now.
Trump, last week: We're going to lower drug prices by allowing importation from other countries! Trump, this week: Screw last week.
So much for open markets!
