America is cheating multiple countries out of medical equipment

Yup, they stuffed us twice mate. They literally emptied our gold reserves in WW1 and only came in to make sure we won and could repay the debt we had accumulated there after .
Modern America is founded on the profits of financing war.

World war was decided when America dropped the bombs and then handed China there country back from the Japanese.

Trudeau: Supplies for Canada diverted to U.S.
The prime minister says he’s working with the U.S. and is following up on this specific issue. He says he knows the needs are great in the U.S. but says it’s the same in Canada.chicago.suntimes.com
Face masks from China intended for France 'hijacked' by US at the last minute
Coronavirus masks that France ordered from China were bought at the last minute by the United States as they waited to be loaded onto cargo planes, French officials have said.amp.rfi.fr
US are playing dirty business, aggressively outbidding European countries (and Canada) for medical supplies and having pending orders literally diverted just before they are heading to their intended destinations.
Hard to believe this is the country which literally saved Europe twice.
He will be using shadowy middle men and claiming he knows nothing about it but take the credit later on

I don't know much about it, but when put like that, it seems they did it because there was a tidy profit to be had

"In 1915, the Anglo-French Financial Commission agreed a $500 million loan from private American banks. By 1916, Britain was funding most of the Empire's war expenditures, all of Italy's and two thirds of the war costs of France and Russia, plus smaller nations as well. The gold reserves, overseas investments and private credit then ran out forcing Britain to borrow $4 billion from the U.S. Treasury in 1917–18.[8] Shipments of American raw materials and food allowed Britain to feed itself and its army while maintaining her productivity"
our "Allie" lent us the money to buy things off them.

That's like $230 billion in today's money?
They made a profit on selling us the stuff and gave us a loan to buy the stuff
Could argue that it was worth it like

Just like China did?
Factory packed with coronavirus supplies being sent to CHINA
Yet another factory has been found full of vital food and medical supplies being shipped to China as Australia's supermarket shelves are stripped bare.www.dailymail.co.uk
That would be complete nonsense.Australia produces 3 times more food than it can eat .
160 tons of masks etc landed at Perth airport yesterday from China .
Due to the lack of passenger aircraft the freight trade has collapsed .Suppliers were trying to charter planes to fly fresh produce to Asia and the govt stepped in to support it.Fresh fruit,seafood etc.A lot of seafood may need to be dumped,prawns,lobster etc as there is far too much for the local market
Fremantle harbour has a lot of bulk carriers waiting to get in .I would suspect to carry grain to Asia.Australia produces Durum wheat,needed for pasts,noodles etc.
There is no shortage of fresh or powdered milk.There is a large export industry between Australia and New Zealand and Asia for milk and milk products.China is not renowned for large herds of cows.Both countries are.Some of the cattle stations cover millions of acres.They are not going to stop exporting.
The masks etc are going through the normal quality inspections.Sub standard ones will be returned to China.Due to the ramp up in demand it seems in the rush to make things in China some are not up to the standard required.

There is also around 1 million tons of iron ore going out daily from north west mines on 4 to 5 big 220,000 tonne bulk carriers.That industry is not going to stop either,brings in a few billion$$ for state and federal govts,and almost supports some small airlines with fly in fly out rosters for well paid workers.

It's funny how I got wrist slapped by numerous posters for saying the US saved Europe, then someone goes and says the "US saved China".
Again equally offensive to the locals who were fighting against Japan on the ground.
