Trump Announces new tariffs on imported pharmaceuticals.

Supposedly to encourage manufacturers to "bring jobs back to America.".
About that:
*Americans already pay scandalously higher prices for even locally ,ade pharmaceuticals that anywhere else in the world..
* Trump has already removes the ceiling price on insulin, established by Biden after the public were help to ranson by criminal price gouging that threatened lives
* Many of the well known drug companies are in fact european and have never manufactured in the US. If they decided to, it would be years before a pill was produced.
* Unlike many labor intensive processes, pharmaceutical plants are highly automated, with very few actual employees.. Even much of the computer monitoring is remote. So there will be no jobs..😷

Trump is already trying to attack other countries that have schemes like the PBS here in Australia that make access to medicines cheaper for those who can't afford them normally.

Trump needs to go after people like Martin Shrekeli (aka 'pharma bro'), etc. before he attempts to force the world to accept carte-blanche the importation of US produced healthcare products and drugs. Maybe he'll get Elizabeth Holmes into his 'secret ministries'.

Even if something is manufactured cheaper that doesn't mean it will be sold for less. The aim is to make as much profit as possible.

just like Sterisyn Morlanta as featured in the Bourne movies. Located in the Phillipines where (like china) labour is cheap and human lives are undervalued.
