    Trump's drug tariffs would create 'worst of all worlds': Europe pharma group

    After 50% tariff and H1B restrictions, Trump puts 100% duty on branded pharma: Indian stocks tumble

    A European pharmaceutical industry group warned Friday that tariffs on medicines “would create the worst of all worlds”, after US President Donald Trump announced steep import duties on the sector.Trump announced a raft of new tariffs on multiple industries on Thursday, including a 100-percent duty on “any branded or patented” pharmaceutical product, unless a company is building their manufacturing plant in the United States.The European Union and the United States reached a trade deal in July that capped tariffs on pharmaceutical products and other goods at 15 percent.It was not immediately clear whether that understanding had changed following Trump’s announcement.”Tariffs on medicines, however excessive, would create the worst of all worlds,” Nathalie Moll, director general of the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations, said in a statement to AFP.Live EventsAlso Read: Trump delivers another bitter tariff pill.
