President Donald Trump is back at it with his tariff threats for pharma, promising massive levies on generic drug imports starting in 2028.
The president’s proposal — which was announced on Truth Social and has yet to be solidified via an official proclamation or notice — is framed as a push to encourage domestic drug manufacturing.

Ferrari professor of business at Johns Hopkins Carey Business School.
