From Europe to South America, U.S. allies are complaining about the superpower's "Wild West" tactics in outbidding or blocking shipments to buyers who have already signed deals for vital medical supplies.

In France and Germany, senior officials said the United States was paying far above the market price for medical-grade masks, on occasion winning contracts through higher bids even after European buyers believed a deal was done, and Brazil's health minister reported a similar incident.

"Money is irrelevant. They pay any price because they are desperate," one high-level official in German Chancellor Angela Merkel's ruling CDU/CSU group told Reuters."

Why is he buying up the world's medical supplies but getting mad at the governors for requesting them for dying people and for health care workers?

Why are businesses breaking contracts for him and leaving others in the world vulnerable?
The world is going to hate us when this is over.
