Trade experts accuse President Trump of politicizing the pandemic and risking the lives of first responders by continuing to wage his trade war against China.
“China makes 120 million masks a day, while U.S. hospitals are asking volunteers to make them at home. We need Chinese PPE, ventilators and much more now.”
