On Free Trade: Virus proves emphasis on American production

Trump, who has long pushed to boost domestic manufacturing as part of his "America First" ethos, says the coronavirus pandemic proves his point. "Look, there's nothing good about what happened with the plague -- especially the death -- but the one thing is, it said, 'Trump was right,'" Trump said. "These stupid supply chains that are all over the world ... one little piece of the world goes bad, and the whole thing is messed up." Trump did allude to taxes or tariffs on production done overseas. Source: National Public Radio on Trump Administration May 6, 2020
