One thing the COVID-19 pandemic has made starkly evident is that it’s urgent for the United States to become better able to serve its own needs in the areas of pharmaceuticals, pandemic readiness, and energy, according to Rep. Diana Harshbarger (R-Tenn.).

Continuing to rely on China, a geopolitical rival with close ties to many U.S. enemies, isn’t an option, Harshbarger told the “Capitol Report” program on NTD, sister media outlet of The Epoch Times, on March 17.
