Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) is pushing for terminating America’s dependence on Chinese drug imports, warning that China poses a security threat.

“We are dependent on China overwhelmingly for our critical medical supply chains,” Hawley said in an April 2 interview on Fox News. “You talk about being dependent, you talk about a national security threat, that’s a national security threat.”
