Trudeau Threatens Trump For Stopping Shipment Of Masks To Canada by allthingsgood: 5:50pm On Apr 04, 2020 |
Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau has warned Donald Trump that his decision to stop a US manufacturing company from sending respirators to Canada could prompt retaliatory measures. The Trump administration ordered 3M, a Minnesota-based manufacturer of protective healthcare equipment, to stop exporting protective masks to Canada and Latin America on Thursday. Related 3M warns against Trump's order to limit face mask exports Mr Trudeau said medical equipment “goes both ways across the border,” and noted that thousands of nurses travel from Canada to work in Detroit every day. “These are things that Americans rely on and it would be a mistake to create blockages or reduce the amount of back and forth trade of essential goods and services, including medical goods, across our border,” he said. AD Mr Trump said Wednesday that he used the Defence Production Act, a Korean War-era law, to compel 3M to sell its equipment to the US government. “We hit 3M hard today after seeing what they were doing with their Masks. ‘P Act’ all the way,” Mr Trump wrote on Twitter. “Big surprise to many in government as to what they were doing — will have a big price to pay!” he added. Hospitals across the world are facing severe shortages of protective equipment, which puts medical staff at greater risk as they treat coronavirus patients. In the US, many doctors and nurses are re-using their masks every day. 3M said it had been asked by the White House to limit exports of protective equipment manufactured in the US to Canada and Latin America, which the company opposed on “humanitarian grounds.” The company said in a statement that there were “significant humanitarian implications of ceasing respirator supplies to healthcare workers in Canada and Latin America, where we are a critical supplier of respirators. In addition, ceasing all export of respirators produced in the United States would likely cause other countries to retaliate and do the same, as some have already done.” 2 Likes |

Trudaeu should look towards Aba and Cross River in Nigeria. Give them the specification and they'll do wonders shortly. But seriously, isn't Canada developed enough to produce their own facemasks? Desperate times require desperate measures. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Trump please learn diplomacy. Every country needs to survive, not only US citizens. How will 3M business thrive after the Corona pandemic period if it fails it's foreign customers at this critical period ? It's a humanitarian issue. USA should place it's orders like Canada has done. Who knows if this Corona saga is an aftermath of China-US 2019 trade wars ? Pls people should study how businesses run and desist from unguided comments. That US orders masks from China does not mean US cannot sew masks. That Canada orders masks from US does not mean Canada cannot sew masks. It's purely buying and selling. 5 Likes |

As good as this sound... It's bad for Canada and other affected countries and on the long run, it will be worst for 3M. Desperate times involved desperate measures... Trump being the number one citizen and a nationalist had taken a desperate measure to be selfish and self-centered in other to safe America. On the other hand, let Trudeau take a desperate measure by charging local industries with capacities to make a replica of 3M respirators or a substitute or look elsewhere. Trudeau can also take desperate retaliatory measure by stopping every substantial aid they offer US right now.. I am sure Trump will understand. |

400billionman: You do have a point. But should 3M be exporting masks when they have not fully supplied to Americans? It shows insensitivity. There are advantages US should enjoy for being its parent and host country. Why prioritize profit and alliances over the emergency help they'd have offered America in this time of crisis. Not like I wanna see Canada and US have a fight, but just imagine our Aba brothers making facemasks and exporting South Africa instead of selling to us. What is bad is bad abeg. 1 Like |

Trump is acting like a student who failed to read for examination. After failing he is blaming the lecturer for setting hard question. Early March Trump was everywhere saying the Covid-19 is a Chinese virus. Instead of getting serious and listening to the advice of the health professionals. Now people are dying like chickens. 3M should sell 75% of their production to US and 25% to Canada. If Canada should stop her Medical workers from going to US to help, then Trump will know that everything is not about flexing muscle. 1 Like |

Of course, there is likely to be retaliation. 3M operates in over 35 countries using local labor. Each country could force 3M to stop exporting masks to the US. The "mask war" is looming. |

baralatie:No. All blame belongs to Trump. He was dragging his feet. They told him to activate the DPA over a month ago, he refused. The US would n't have needed to steal orders from other countries if Trump had dropped his ego for the greater good. 2 Likes |
