President Donald Trump on Thursday said he wanted the United States to be the world’s number one medical manufacturer, as he encouraged the reopening of America and praised automaker Ford during a visit to one of its plants in Michigan.

Trump visited Ypsilanti, outside Detroit, to tour a Ford plant that has partly converted to manufacturing ventilators and personal protective equipment (PPE) amid the pandemic caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, a novel coronavirus from Wuhan, China. Earlier in the day, Trump held a roundtable discussion with African American leaders to talk about vulnerable populations hit by the CCP virus.
