USA Hijacks N95 Masks That Germany Purchased From China by philfearon(m): 7:38am On Apr 04, 2020
The German government is accusing the Trump administration of stealing N95 masks that it had ordered from a factory based in China that’s run by American company 3M.

They German government claim that “200,000 N95 masks made by the manufacturer 3M were diverted to the U.S. as they were being transferred between planes in Thailand.”

Andreas Geisel, the interior minister for Berlin state, said that the American seizure of masks that were set to go to Germany was “an act of modern piracy” and warned that continuing to take such actions could create chaos across the globe.

“This is no way to treat trans-Atlantic partners,” Geisel said. “Even in times of global crisis there should be no wild west methods.” US accused of 'modern piracy' after diversion of masks meant for Europe

Now one reasonable person would think this seems far-fetched even for Trumpian standards, but apparently Germany isn’t the only country that has been hit by Trump’s efforts to hoard masks for the United States.

Politico reports that 3M this week said “it has received a request from the Trump administration to stop exporting N95 respirators to Canada and Latin America as demand grows in the U.S.,” which prompted Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to call out the president for hurting both Canada and the United States with his actions.

“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,” Trudeau said. Trudeau warns U.S. against denying exports of medical supplies to Canada.

Na today we know say US is a giant stealing country... trump supporter would simply hail him for that and call it bravery, Trump a selfish man who routed many ventilators he can get to florida because that's where he spends his weekend playing golf, while NewYork his former weekend home lacks ventilator

China still makes most of your face mask, sanitizer and ventilators.. yet you insult China daily, Russia that you call all kind of names yet you request their medical workers assistance and they accepted... Now US embassy in Nigeria is appealing to Nigerian Shithole Doctors to come to their country, offering quick Visa and good pay

here in Nigeria our people are still forming big boy to Elon Musk's donation of ventilators forming giant of Africa

Aba and Cross River can't even meet local demand not to talk of the volume we are talking about. The volumes involved in this U.S vs. Germany spat runs into several millions that need to be replenished every few days. Besides, these are the N95 masks, not the lower grade ones that Aba and Cross River are making.

This shows, no matter the situation, Trump still thinks of Americans first...he doesn't give a shit about any other country first.

This is what our Nigerian leaders should learn...Nigeria first!

We need to start manufacturing our own. And rely less outside...when the shit hits the fan, all those countries manufacturing that we rely on, will think of their people first just as Trump has done....he didn't give a shit about Germany, Canada or any other.

This is also the same man who was saying the virus is a common flu despite briefing from WHO and was calling it a Chinese virus. Now, he is stealing face masks.

That's not how things work. USA was busy casting blames, calling China all sorts of names from Jan - March instead of taking proactive measures to secure their citizens despite briefings by WHO.
They deliberately allowed their citizens get infested while they still continue to ridicule China and their handling of the virus in their home, still believing it's a common flu. This is also despite repeated warnings from their own doctor...
When shït started becoming serious, USA offered to pay Billions of dollars to a German Research Biomedical company that was deep into the vaccine. Trump wanted the vaccine exclusively for USA. The company refused and said the vaccine will be free to everyone.

I want to assure everyone that the reason no vaccine is out yet for this virus is because the Pharmaceutical Companies are influencing things heavily behind the scene for profit purposes... Yes, the Pharmaceutical Companies control the world in case you don't know.

Please read up, research and quit with this unethical way of commenting on things you barely understand.

Who told you it is a biological weapon?
If at all you read, you would have known that Corona virus is not a new disease and has been discovered a long time ago, and is in the same category like SARS.
Yes, SARS and Covid 19 are both Corona viruses because they are diseases that affect the respiratory system.
