President Trump has unleased the might and ingenuity of the American private sector.
The Trump administration has given the green light to automanufacturers including Ford, GM, and Tesla to join the fight against COVID-19 by producting medical ventilators.
As medical supplies run low across the nation and around the globe, ventilators will be needed to help save American lives.
Auto manufacturers were unable to join the fight because of federal regulations.
However, as the pandemic has worsened, the president has moved quickly to cut red tape and give power to the private sector.
The FDA announced on Sunday, March 22, that it has lowered certain barriers in the medical device approval process, which means that auto manufacturing plants can now help produce ventilators.
These ventilators help patients breathe, which is critically important since the virus is a respiratory disease.
