well that and 90 percent of our antibiotic supply!!!!

Is that not also what we are trying to remedy???

The United States does not get 90% of its antibiotics from China.

Has anyone seen anything further about this?

To take China on now economically instead of militarily in Taiwan or the South China Seas could be pure genius.

Wasn't sure myself, so googlized it and this was a result

"And according to official data, China exported $7.4 billion in APIs and antibiotics to the United States last year. India, which supplies approximately 40% of generic pharmaceuticals used in the United States, imports nearly 70% of its active ingredients from China. American drug makers are no longer in the business.Apr 28, 2020"

and

"Right now, the U.S. has virtually no capacity to manufacture antibiotics. That’s because China currently controls roughly 90% of the global supply of inputs needed to make the generic antibiotics that treat bronchitis, pneumonia, pediatric ear infections, and life-threatening conditions such as sepsis."

^^^^ That was 4 years ago. It's probably 99.9% now.

I have posted this before about sepsis. Also you should be taking vitamin D3 to prevent cancer and other sickness. Sambucol from Walmart can prevent the flu.

Dow and S&P surge in minutes after Trump says there will be 90 day pause

President Donald Trump on Wednesday said he will delay tariffs for 90 days for countries that did not launch a reciprocal tariff against the US.

He also increased tariffs on Chinese imports to 125 percent, citing China's 'lack of respect for global markets.

Trump attributed his decision to pause the tariffs to the fact that 'more than 75 countries' have reached out to the White House to negotiate solutions to the trade issues he raised with the new duties.

The S&P's surge is the most for an intraday move since April 6, 2020. Soon after the news broke just before 1.30pm [Eastern], the S&P 500 extended its urge to 7.3 percent and the , Nasdaq 100 soared 9 percent.

Nvidia shares jumped 12 percent, the most since July, while Apple shares rose 13 percent, the largest move in over 5 years since March 2020.

Trump posted on his Truth Social site: 'Based on the fact that more than 75 Countries have called Representatives of the United States, including the Departments of Commerce, Treasury, and the USTR, to negotiate a solution...and that these Countries have not, at my strong suggestion, retaliated in any way, shape, or form against the United States, I have authorized a 90 day PAUSE, and a substantially lowered Reciprocal Tariff during this period, of 10%, also effective immediately.'

But Trump started the post by slapping more levies on China. “Based on the lack of respect that China has shown to the World’s Markets, I am hereby raising the Tariff charged to China by the United States of America to 125%, effective immediately,” he wrote.

They're still pissed because they sold during the dip?

The SP500, DJI, and DJT have all surged higher.

90 day pause was the right call, 10 year treasuries went over 4.5% today. We have a lot of treasuries coming up that need to be refinanced.

Hedge funds were selling treasuries to cover their margin calls on the stock market and China dumped alot of paper on Monday too.

Like I tell everyone watch the bond markets, money talks.

Sorry, embed not working at the moment.

90% of the world’s inputs aren’t 90% of US supply. But I do support Trump working to change that for our benefit here in the US.
