Nice gesture but it's sad we cannot produce our own goods in these situations.

A C-130 military aircraft loaded with medical supplies from Egypt is scheduled to land at Dulles International Airport on Tuesday to help fight the coronavirus, a U.S. official said Monday, a gesture meant to show support for President Trump and the U.S.-Egypt alliance.

More reasons why we need to bring essential manufacturers (i.e. medical supplies ) back to US soil.

Well when you don't make anything for your own domestic market (besides debt), you are basically a banana republic... All the more reason Trump will be reelected, since he has worked harder than any other administration to correct this. If our US corporations would have taken his advice to reshore when he advised them to do so, we wouldn't be in this mess, at least not to this extent. I think it will take a decade to really set in motion lasting changes that will return our nation towards the path of self sufficiency.

No, he hasn't. In fact, he's done nothing for US manufacturing except tell lies.
