3M said it has gone 'above and beyond' to make enough respirators available in the U.S., despite President Donald Trump criticizing the company over its mask production.
President Donald Trump is criticizing 3M over N95 respirator masks as the company revealed demand is"much higher" than its ability to make them during the coronavirus pandemic."We hit 3M hard today after seeing what they were doing with their Masks," Trump wrote."'P Act' all the way.

In a statement posted Friday, 3M said the White House formally invoked the act to prioritize N95 orders from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The company also said it has gone"above and beyond" to make enough respirators available in the U.S.
