After Trump threatened tariffs on pharmaceutical imports, drugmakers unveiled a flurry of commitments to build or expand US manufacturing operations. But the moves aren't expected to decrease US reliance on foreign sources for key ingredients and drugs, nor are they likely to result in lower costs

He's threatening more Sales Taxes on Americans. Grow some balls and tell it like it is, Corporate Pinheads.

It never lowers costs, it just adds profits ...

Of course it won’t bring down the cost of drugs, those companies will want to recoup the cost of their capital expansion. Aside from that, US pharmaceuticals are not exactly known for voluntarily decreasing their prices….most expensive drugs in the World.

So many people not smart enough (maga) to understand how long it takes to build manufacturing facilities. Trump will be long gone before anything can be opened.

And when prices are higher to recoup the higher overhead of USA, it will become Obama’s fault.

My analysis: U.S. tariffs on imported medicines from Canada, EU threaten human well‑being and industry strength. A 25 % duty may add $750 M in costs for Canadian drugs and disrupt supply chains. Instead, partner on equitable access and cost control.

With Medicare and the closing of hospitals agross America so the wealthiest can get tax cuts you won't need these drugs. As GOP bitch Joni Ernst says "you're all going to die anyways!!"

What is he getting out of this? He has never prioritized the needs of the American people; it’s all about personal gain for him. While we are expected to absorb the significantly higher cost of everything, he’s using the Oval Office to profit from all his illegal executive orders.

Any jobs this creates will be gone the minute it’s financial more beneficial to go overseas, which means there is no job stability in this.

It’s all for the show! But I am sure most of his voters will not understand what is the impact. And interesting that he exempted tariffs for Indian pharmaceutical products

All it does is make everything more expensive to buy. Trump’s tariffs can make a $50 shoe cost to $95 to $110 overnight. Move production here & we'll pay $150–$190. Tariffs are a tax on you first, leverage second. It's so dumb!!

Your prescriptions are going to cost more and your co-pays if you have coverage will increase and if you have prescription coverage your payments for that are going to increase- thank Trump for helping you have less…

Orange guy forces companies into useless agreements for what?? To show he can control them? In the end Trump could care less about helping the American people. Like all his dictator ilk, he just wants to weld control for money. While he shrinks the American economy and its world standing.
