Navarro specifically mentioned pharmaceutical companies and medical supplies as parts of the manufacturing base the White House would like a bill to target. “We need to make our medicines here, we need to make our masks here, our ventilators and all of that,” he said. “For me and for this president, one of the key thrusts of any phase four — and any economic plan — going forward has to be manufacturing jobs, a focus on buy American, hire American, make it in the U.S.A.,” Navarro said. “What we need to do as a country is to make more stuff here.”
