BD has partnered with the U.S. government to invest $19 billion in expanding domestic manufacturing capacity for essential medical consumables, aiming to increase U.S. supply to about 80% and produce all needles domestically from American steel. The deal includes exemption from future Section 232 tariffs contingent on meeting milestones, supporting U.S. healthcare supply chain resilience.
