President Joe Biden bragged during the State of the Union address about making more goods in America, but he has not only allowed for China to become the top main supplier of rubber medical gloves for the United States — he has refused to finish building a government-contracted factory in rural southwest Virginia begun under former President Donald Trump.
That facility alone would have created thousands of jobs and ensured the nation had its own supply of medical gloves should Beijing decide to cut off supplies.
Scott Maier, CEO of Blue Star NBR — the company contracted to build the factory, spoke to Breitbart News Washington Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle in an exclusive interview on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Saturday about Biden’s failure to supply the U.S. with American-made medical gloves and instead rely on China as the nation’s largest supplier, leaving the country at risk.
Maier said during the coronavirus pandemic — when the U.S. found itself low on personal protective equipment due to the Obama administration depleting its emergency stockpile and never replenishing it — projects began under the Trump administration to make the rubber medical gloves and other critical supplies in America.
