EU says Trump’s new generic drug tariffs won’t hit its exports
The European Commission claims EU generic medicines will be exempt from Trump’s proposed 100% tariffs starting 2028, citing the 2025 Turnberry trade deal that ensures a 0% most-favored-nation tariff rate. Trump’s plan aims to boost U.S. pharmaceutical production but faces EU assertions that the deal protects European exports from higher levies.
