WASHINGTON — Manufacturing giant 3M pushed backed against President Trump
in a statement on Friday that suggested it would not comply with a White
House order to stop exporting masks to Canada and Latin America.
The Trump administration on Thursday invoked the Defense Production Act,
compelling 3M to prioritize orders for desperately needed N95 respiratory
masks for the US government’s national stockpile.
The Minnesota-based company, one of the largest manufacturers of the masks,
said it was looking forward to implementing the order and had already been
going “above and beyond” in recent weeks to churn them out as quickly as
possible amid the coronavirus pandemic.
But 3M criticized a previously unreported request from the White House that
it also stop sending any N95 masks to Latin America and Canada, citing “
significant humanitarian implications” given the great need for them in the
US and complaints from governors around the country, including New York’s
Andrew Cuomo, that they wind up in bidding wars for supplies against each
other and other countries.
“The Administration also requested that 3M cease exporting respirators that
we currently manufacture in the United States to the Canadian and Latin
American markets,” the Friday morning statement read.
“There are, however, significant humanitarian implications of ceasing
respirator supplies to healthcare workers in Canada and Latin America, where
we are a critical supplier of respirators,” it continued.
The manufacturing company said it feared other countries would retaliate if
it stopped exporting masks made in the US, “as some have already done.”
“If that were to occur, the net number of respirators being made available
to the United States would actually decrease. That is the opposite of what
we and the Administration, on behalf of the American people, both seek.”
The bombshell sparked a diplomatic scramble, with Ontario Premier Doug Ford
telling US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer that the new order would
potentially jeopardize the health of Canada’s frontline workers, he said in
a tweet.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called the order a “mistake.”
“It would be a mistake for both of our countries to limit our access to
goods and personnel,” Trudeau said Friday morning, saying Canada would “
continue to keep trade open with the United States.”
The president and his top trade adviser, Peter Navarro, both lashed into the
Minnesota-based company on Thursday night, criticizing 3M for continuing to
send respirators overseas when the US is facing a critical domestic
shortage.

Trump tweeted that his administration “hit 3M hard today after seeing what
they were doing with their masks,” and threatened the company “will have a
big price to pay.”
At a White House briefing Thursday evening, Navarro said he’d experienced
issues making sure 3M products manufactured around the world were “coming
back here to the right places.”
In its statement, 3M said it would ramp up overseas production and was
exporting 10 million N95 respirators manufactured by its factory in China. | m********e
