sigh. I don’t want us to be dependent on China for anything. But fwiw: The argument Trump makes about dolls — on his terms — will apply to pharmaceuticals because they will become more scarce and therefore expensive Just as he had no plan for dolls or pencils he had no plan for medicine. if you want to decouple from China, fine.
