…The group has argued #tariffs would undermine efforts to boost domestic manufacturing, a goal of #Trump.

#Pharmaceutical products have long been spared from trade wars due to the potential harms, but he has repeatedly threatened a 25% tariff on pharmaceutical imports.

Last week, the Trump admin announced probes into pharmaceutical imports, citing [BS] #NationalSecurity concerns over reliance on foreign #drug production.
