Donald Trump Invokes the Defense Production Act Against 3M for Medical Masks

By Charlie Spiering

The president responded to the news reported by Fox News host Tucker Carlson that 3M was sending masks to foreign countries instead of shipping them to the United States.

“We hit 3M hard today after seeing what they were doing with their Masks,” Trump wrote. “Big surprise to many in government as to what they were doing – will have a big price to pay!”

Director of the Florida Division of Emergency Management Jared Moskowitz appeared on Carlson’s show to shame the company for not saving the masks for American workers.

Billionaire Mark Cuban also exposed 3M distributors for making as much money as possible with the masks and even spoke to the White House about the “price gouging” he said was taking place.

The president authorized Secretary of Homeland Security Chad Wolf for FEMA “to acquire, from any appropriate subsidiary or affiliate of 3M Company, the number of N-95 respirators that the Administrator determines to be appropriate.”

Infa's note:  DAMN!!! This president works fast.  I saw this report on Tucker Carlson and was gobsmacked. I was hoping Trump would look into it and maybe in a few days he'd do something but BOOM!! a few hours later and he has already kicked their asses.  Even though the Florida Director of Emergency Management ordered PPE from 3M a month ago, they pushed his order to the bottom so they could sell to foreign countries for big cash as Americans died. Can you imagine what a scumbag  an American has to be to sell life saving products to foreigners over Americans during a pandemic?  Disgusting. Thank you President Trump for putting America and Americans first.
