WASHINGTON (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 19th September, 2020) US President Donald Trump said during a press briefing on Friday that Puerto Rico will be designated as a pharmaceutical manufacturing area.
"So, if we can build Puerto Rico back into a pharmaceutical manufacturing area, we're going to designate it as such. I think it will be unbelievable for Puerto Rico," Trump said.
Trump said such a move means his administration will seek to bring back pharmaceutical manufacturing jobs to Puerto Rico.
Earlier on Friday, the White House announced the Trump administration will provide Puerto Rico with $13 billion to help rebuild the territory's electrical grid and to support its education system following the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Maria in 2017.
