flag Starting Oct. 1, 2025, Trump proposes 100% tariffs on imported branded drugs unless made in U.S. plants.

flag Starting October 1, 2025, Trump announced a 100% tariff on imported branded and patented pharmaceuticals unless manufacturers are actively building U.S. production facilities, defined as breaking ground or under construction. flag The move, framed as a national security and economic protection measure, aims to boost domestic manufacturing and reduce reliance on foreign supply chains. flag Exempt from the tariff are companies already constructing U.S. plants, while generic drugs are not affected. flag The policy is part of a broader set of proposed tariffs on goods like kitchen cabinets, upholstered furniture, and heavy trucks. flag The announcement triggered declines in Asian stock markets and raised concerns about higher drug prices, supply chain disruptions, and global trade tensions.
