Cool move. The Berlin government bought 200.000 protective masks from China for Berlin hospitals and the police (like in already paid!) and they were on their way to Germany.

Until the USA confiscated them in Bangkok and redirected them to the USA. Nice.

Apparently the same has happened to the French government.

That are absolutely asshole moves. Especially as that inflates prices and there are countries that stand no chance in a bidding war. Nice one. Really nice.

I saw about it in the French newspapers and I am absolutely livid about it.

Yes, it happened zu the French first and then to us. Sources say that the Americans are known to go on the airfield and to buy the protective gear and the mask for the double or tripple price.

many americans are equally horrified by our government’s actions and do not condone them. equally reprehensible is the fact that he will only distribute those stolen supplies to states he thinks he can entice to vote for him

The US press is having trouble keeping up with this story from what I can see. It’s being reported but there’s so much awful shit being done by the federal government the fact that we’re fucking over individual states and committing piracy against foreign countries is buried in an avalanche of shitty news.
