US Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said on Thursday that the coronavirus outbreak in China will help “accelerate the return of jobs to North America”.
“Well, first of all, every American’s heart has to go out to the victims of the coronavirus. So, I don’t want to talk about a victory lap over a very unfortunate, very malignant disease. But the fact is, it does give businesses yet another thing to consider when they go through their review of their supply chain,” Ross said during an interview with Fox Business Network’s Maria Bartiromo.
“On top of all the other things, because you had Sars, you had the African swine virus there, now you have this,” Ross continued. “It’s another risk factor that people need to take into account. So, I think it will help accelerate the return of jobs to North America, some to the US, probably some to Mexico as well.”
