Trump says U.S. will make 100,000 ventilators
Trump says U.S. will make 100,000 ventilators, "We're going to make a lot of ventilators," Trump said, pledging to take care of U.S. needs while also helping other countries.
Trump has cast doubt on Cuomo's projection that New York may need upward of 30,000 ventilators when coronavirus cases reach a peak.
"I think their estimates are high," Trump said Friday. "I hope they're high. They could be extremely high."
President Donald Trump invoked the Defense Production Act on Friday to require General Motors AND General Electric to produce more ventilators.
HE IS GOING TO USE THE DEFENSE PRODUCTION ACT TO FORCE AMERICAN COMPANIES TO PRODUCE VENTILATORS TO BE SOLD TO OTHER COUNTRIES and has said he doesnt believe one of Americas largest cities in crisis now, doesn't need many more.
