Trump proposes tariffs on generic drugs, impacting Indian companies
Donald Trump has announced a plan to impose tariffs of up to 200% on generic drugs. This move is expected to negatively affect Indian pharmaceutical companies, which are major suppliers of generic medicines globally. A US official acknowledged that India would likely be concerned about this development. Separately, Trump also announced a 50% tariff on most Canadian goods, potentially risking a new trade war with Canada.
