Trump slaps 100% tariffs on patented drugs, shakes global pharma trade

    Trump slaps 100% tariffs on patented drugs, shakes global pharma trade

    Donald Trump has announced sweeping new tariffs of up to 100 per cent on patented pharmaceutical imports, aiming to push global drugmakers to move manufacturing to the United States. Companies that shift production and reduce prices can avoid the tariffs, while those that partially comply may face 20 percent duties. Firms that refuse both conditions could be hit with tariffs as high as 100 percent.
