President Trump has long pushed for manufacturing to return to America. Now, he says the coronavirus pandemic has proven his point.President Trump on Thursday wants to use a medical equipment distribution center in the swing state of Pennsylvania as the backdrop for his argument to bring manufacturing supply chains back to the United States from overseas.
Trump, who has long pushed to boost domestic manufacturing as part of his"America First" ethos, says the coronavirus pandemic proves his point. Trump is scheduled to make his remarks at 2:15 p.m. ET after touring a distribution center in Allentown, Pa., owned by Owens & Minor, a company that makes masks and other personal protective equipment.
"Look, there's nothing good about what happened with the plague, OK — especially the death — but the one thing is, it said, 'Trump was right,'" Trump said in an interview that aired on Thursday on Fox Business News.
