Trump is Enver Hoxha with bronzer and a bad haircut.
Comment on US classifies South Korea as ‘sensitive country,’ limiting cooperation on advanced tech.

The US is well behind in medicine already. Because of the for-profit health system hospitals aren’t encouraged to try procedures that aren’t covered by insurance companies, and insurance companies aren’t incentivized to add new procedures to their coverage because they can’t be bothered to review them.
It’s the same issue with off-label prescription drugs, It’s the drug isn’t explicitly designed to treat a condition, it won’t be prescribed even if it could help e.g. using antibiotics to treat cancer has proven to be surprisingly effective, but no hospital in the US will do it.
