Mỹ dùng luật gì để cấm 3M giao khẩu trang tới Canada?

luật dpa: "sản xuất quốc phòng" nhé...

In The Defense Production Act I argued that the DPA was neither especially useful or necessary and would probably be misused. In Sicken Thy Neighbor Trade Policy I argued that exports bans (lệnh cấm xuất khẩu) were a bad idea (ý tưởng tồi). So, of course, Donald Trump has used the DPA to ban 3M from exporting masks to Canada. “We hit 3M hard today” tweeted Trump, as if 3M were a foreign terrorist camp (trại khủng bố nước ngoài).

Since January (well before the government began to act), 3M has been ramping up (đẩy mạnh sản xuất) mask (khẩu trang) production. Their response (phản ứng) to the DPA order is on point:

Over the last several weeks and months, 3M and its employees have gone above and beyond to manufacture as many N95 respirators (khẩu trang) as possible for the U.S. market. Yesterday, the Administration formally invoked the Defense Production Act (DPA) to require 3M to prioritize (ưu tiên) orders from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for our N95 respirators.

…There are, however, significant humanitarian implications (hậu quả nhân đạo nghiêm trọng) of ceasing (ngừng, dừng) respirator supplies to healthcare workers in Canada and Latin America, where we are a critical supplier of respirators. In addition, ceasing all export of respirators produced in the United States would likely cause other countries to retaliate (trả đũa) and do the same, 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.
