Today, we congratulate President Donald Trump and express our appreciation for his strong commitment to American manufacturing, particularly in the personal protective equipment (PPE) and medical supplies sectors. In recent years, the resilience and reliability of our nation’s healthcare supply chain have been tested like never before.

Our nation’s manufacturing sector, including medical supplies, remains in a pitched battle against China’s state-subsidized, illegal, and unfair trade actions. Now, more than ever, it is clear that relying on overseas production poses significant risks to our healthcare infrastructure and public health. The voters have concluded the same.

President Trump’s dedication to on-shoring critical manufacturing, defending U.S. industries through fair tariffs, and confronting unfair foreign competition marks a significant step toward achieving a self-sufficient and secure supply chain for vital medical equipment. The Trump-Vance administration can empower American manufacturers to expand production, create jobs, and enhance our capacity to respond to future public health and public safety needs.

We thank the Biden administration for its efforts to strengthen American manufacturing, including support for tariffs on critical medical supplies. We also thank Congress for its bipartisan efforts to boost domestic manufacturing and hold foreign bad actors accountable.

As we look to the future, we remain committed to working alongside current and future administrations and policymakers to continue building a robust domestic manufacturing base that prioritizes economic security and public health. Together, we can ensure that America’s healthcare system has access to high-quality, American-made products, protecting our healthcare workers, our economy, and the well-being of our communities.
