The Trump administration is preparing a new round of tariffs to replace those gutted by the Supreme Court, signaling an end to months of trade calm. Separately, Trump plans steep tariffs on generic drugs starting in 2028 to force domestic manufacturing onshoring.
Pharmaceutical manufacturers face margin compression and cost inflation from tariffs, though branded drug makers may benefit from reduced generic competition.
