President Trump said the government would buy nearly 167 million masks from 3M Co. over the next three months, resolving a spat with the industrial conglomerate over efforts to ramp up supply of gear for frontline workers confronting the coronavirus pandemic.
Mr. Trump criticized 3M’s mask-making efforts last week and invoked the Defense Production Act against the company. That Korean War-era law gives the president power to compel manufacturers to make operational changes in the national interest. Health workers across the...
EloySnowball 3M 💪🏻💪🏻
At 1 cent each I hope
1500 🇨🇦 medial staff are in working in Detroit hospitals, some are respiratory therapists. Trump stopped trucks with masks going to into 🇨🇦 today at the border.
How many did he steal from Canada?
My mom work for a retirement home In need of mask and gloves Ford Armstrong rock iland please donate
3M should be ashamed of themselves. It’s no reflection on the workers, but the management is a disgrace to their company and the American public! I’ll never buy anything from 3M as long as their current management is there!
Why are they still manufactured in China and not in the US?
They should also impose an excise tax on them to punish 3M for shipping masks out to the highest bidder. 3M put America last, now they are lying about it.
The states and localities will need to build up stockpiles. The feds will too.
3 years ?
Of their own accord, hospitals should have been more preemptive
Why is the Trump administration and not the governor, e.g. Cuomo or Whitman, buying them? Oh, I forgot, the later are too busy blaming the President for not being prepared.
pay with our tax money and he is going to keep them for homself and federal govt. whatever that means
But those masks won't be for the rest of us
what's the hurry?
Trump just said all doctors and nurses are lying. They have all the ventilators they need. They are just looking for attention. America is the world's nightmare.
It’s going to be too late for many of the people caring for us on the front line. They needed these weeks ago. CODVID19
April heatwave should kill it
China building 2 hospitals in 10 days and the speed of virus spread in diamond pricess cruiseship was more than enough indication for me to act as fast as i could for me to take all crucial precautions back in Jan. Didnt have to wait WHO declaring pandemic!
5 months after coronavirus began... Trump fail 👎
I bought mine in Jan. As soon as i heard the outbreak in China as i knew how contagious this virus is and i knew Chine were hiding their true numbers. And we have no confirmed cases nor death in london at that time. I thought better to overreact rather than underreact.

It's about time! Now we just have to worry that he won't send them to Russia!
too bad they didn't start in January
“A review of federal purchasing contracts by The Associated Press shows federal agencies waited until mid-March to begin placing bulk orders of N95 respirator masks, mechanical ventilators and other equipment needed by front-line health care workers”
Definitely benefiting the family some how. There's a connection somewhere.
3 months we will all be back at work already
well...there's 330 million of us...and we need them now...and we will need more than one.
To late Trumps!!!
Or steal them!
3M produces in China, that's the problem
Does this mean 3 months from now roughly half of American will be able to get a mask we can only use once?
Will Jared come back again to remind everyone that these masks are 'ours' and the states must fend for themselves? 👎🙄☹️
driving up the prices for the states again. absolute waste of taxpayer money.
Just in time!
I hope yall read the instructions on these. Especially those that are non workers
And what about the other half of americans?
phenomenon......this is what should have been done along time ago.
There is something very wrong about the federal government sucking up all these medical resources and distributing them as they see fit. There is too much temptation for COI and Favoritism. It is giving me an uneasy 'Teapot Dome' feeling.
Great timing. Are they also going to use the time machine to go back in time to when they'd be most useful? 👎🙄☹️
And then the Trump Organization will sell them to the highest bidder.
another 500,000,000 will be confiscated from other countries
stockpile so its for.....
And keep them? Or sell them at higher price with trump printed on it?
Hopefully they will distribute them to states that need them. Not just to his favorites...
Shouldn’t it be billion?
This he should have done in January. But ok
Think they'll share them with the country, or is this for family members only?
Glad to hear 3M is finally stepping up to the plate.
