FACT CHECK: JOE BIDEN SPENT YEARS SENDING U.S. SUPPLY CHAINS OVERSEAS
According to Joe Biden’s handlers, he finally agrees with President Trump that reestablishing supply chains for critical health care equipment and supplies here in America must be a national security priority for our country.
Unfortunately, Biden is about four decades late to the party. Not only did Biden do nothing to bring back supply chains during his eight years as vice president, but Biden repeatedly supported terrible policies and trade deals that put America last and led to China bleeding America’s production capacity dry. Over 40 years in Washington as a career politician pushing globalist policies, Biden caused the problem – why should anyone take him seriously now?
Biden – who also failed to replenish America’s stockpile of N95 masks after the 2009 swine flu pandemic – spent the last year criticizing President Trump for holding China accountable for its trade abuses. Biden laughed off the idea that China is a competitor to the United States and denied that China is “our problem.”
As the AP notes, Biden’s proposal to boost supply chains “did not include specifics.” Just like Biden himself, his plan is weak.
