India is one of the larger pharma manufacturers, especially for generic brands. They US tariffs on India exempt pharmaceuticals for a reason.

The tariff applies to BRAND/PATENTED pharmaceuticals manufactured overseas, not to generics.


I hear you but this administration doesn't exactly stick to what they say all the time...

AstraZeneca recently announced they are planning to build a facility in Virginia. I wonder if they knew this was going to happen.

Thanks. I wonder if the pharma companies will build small places here just to placate the administration.

Many pharmaceutical companies manufacture prescription drugs in the US, including major players like AstraZeneca, Pfizer, and AbbVie, but the extent of US manufacturing varies by drug type, with injectables being more likely produced domestically compared to solid oral dosage forms, which are often manufactured in India.

However no company is investing in the US under Trump more will move out of the country.

MAGA has no idea what they have done

Especially given that ICE just rounded up a bunch of South Koreans who were legally in the US starting a factory. What company would send staff over to launch manufacturing in the US now?

Is it true that the government will add a Trump Tax to medications?

My parent is already paying around $15K just to live in assisted living. I did not consider that someone would choose to charge more for needed medications.
