STRENGTHENING MEDICAL SUPPLY CHAINS: President Donald J. Trump is taking bold action to re-shore production of essential medicines, medical countermeasures, and critical inputs.

President Trump is signing an Executive Order to increase American production of essential medical supplies and cut down our reliance on foreign producers of medicines.

Under the order, the Commissioner of Food and Drugs is directed to create a list of medicines, medical countermeasures, and critical inputs that are essential for public health in America. Each agency will consider using its authority to limit competition in government procurement of these essential items to American manufacturers.
