In the United States, the shortage of baby powder powder has taken on such dramatic proportions that the White House made the cause a national priority, and mobilized the army means to deal with it. This weekend, it is a real milk bridge of milk that was drawn up between Germany and the United States. Sunday, May 22, the director of the National Economic Council, Brian Deese, confirmed on the CNN channel that a first military plane had taken off the day before since the American Ramstein base, located in Rhineland-Palatinate, with a cargo on board medical infantile milk produced in Europe.
Last week, Joe Biden sparked a special operation, called Operation Fly Formula (“Infant milk air operation”). Since then, we can follow on the Twitter account of the American president all the stages of this exceptional emergency plan. “Friends, I am happy to announce to you that the first flight of Operation Fly Formula is loaded with more than 70,000 pounds [about 32 tonnes] of humanized milk and that it is about to land in the Indiana, “said Joe Biden in a tweet on May 22, while in the middle of a trip to Asia.
“The” Fly Formula “operation is underway. Thanks to the teamwork of the men and women of the US Transportation Command, the special preparations for infants we need have arrived in the United States”, Can we read in another message accompanied by a video showing American soldiers in camouflage, on the basis of Ramstein, pushing gigantic cases inside a cargo plane.
Production difficulties
The shortage of infant preparation in the United States is linked to the production difficulties of the Abbott Nutrition group, the country’s leading manufacturer. Abbott recalled several lines of products after four infants fell ill, and two died, probably because of bacterial contamination. In February, a business factory in Michigan was temporarily arrested.
In addition to special military transport, justified by the absence of commercial aircraft capable of carrying out transport during the weekend, Joe Biden has activated a law planned for wartime, in order to relaunch national milk production infantile. It has already made it possible to grant special authorizations so that two manufacturers, Abbott and Reckitt, go priority to their suppliers.
“We focused on efficiency to the point that we have forgotten the lessons of stability,” deplored the Secretary of Agriculture of the United States, Tom Vilsack, recognizing that it was necessary to reconstruct the capacities of greater production. In the meantime, it is the army which comes to the aid of the failures of the market for the world’s leading economic power.
