Washington, DC— Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) today introduced legislation to eliminate the national security risk posed by Chinese Communist Party (CCP) influence over entities that sell pharmaceuticals products to the American public. The Securing America’s Drug Supply from Communist China Act directs the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to ensure that drugs in the U.S. supply chain are not made by companies affiliated with the CCP.
