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..😷

A real businessman would have first asked the question: Why are more companies not already manufacturing items in the U.S (across all sectors).? Lets get answers to that question from the actual companies (not TV entertainers) then move on to mitigate the reasons given in their answers....with those issues removed, it would naturally encourage companies move manufacturing here on their own.
