Tariffs on Chinese-made PPE by Biden Administration

The Biden administration announced tariffs on Chinese-made PPE, but some American manufacturers feel it's too little, too late. Despite the tariffs, China has become a dominant supplier. Previous efforts by the Trump administration to boost domestic PPE production were hindered due to financial issues under the Biden administration. The lack of action has allowed China to increase its market share in medical gloves to the U.S.

Failure to Complete American-Made Medical Glove Factory

President Joe Biden failed to complete a government-contracted factory in Virginia that would have produced American-made medical gloves, leaving the U.S. dependent on China for supplies. Despite efforts under the Trump administration to boost domestic production, funding issues halted the project, leading to increased reliance on foreign suppliers.
