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

"President Donald Trump on Thursday invoked the Defense Production Act against 3M to acquire more medical masks to fight the coronavirus.
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!”

We hit 3M hard today after seeing what they were doing with their Masks. “P Act” all the way. 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.”"

Good to hear. 3M investors should demand that heads roll.

Typical greedy capitalist scum? They know most can’t work but those bills keep rolling in. Shows how corrupt they system and the people within it are.

3M is a great company, but this is a bad look.
Posted on 4/3/20 at 6:38 am to Boatshoes
Good for us, I think 3M is going to regret all this.

Major companies like 3M are ate up with diversity and inclusion.
Rather than provide for the USA, they ship these masks to foreign companies to maintain their diversity and inclusion status.

frick 3M for doing that

Does anyone know where 3M has production facilities for the mask? I assume they have both plants in the US and outside but I could be wrong

In fairness to 3M, they have regular distributors and customers all over the world who are placing big orders. I would guess that they want to try to keep those customers after this situation. As a private company, they can try to fill as many orders as they can. This creates an opportunity for another manufacturer to try to horn in on 3M’s business.

Instead of taking that shite stirrer Tucker Carlson's word for how bad 3M is you should watch this interview with CEO of 3M
Very good interview
Somebody should take that tweet device away from Trump. Screw him when he attacks good US businesses.
