Watch: GOP Senator Says Trump’s Tariffs Could Mean Safer Drugs — For a Price

Sen. Bill Cassidy supports President Trump’s proposed tariffs on imported generic drugs, arguing the price increase could be justified to reduce reliance on China for drug production and protect the U.S. drug supply. Trump’s plan involves a two-year deadline for domestic production, followed by tariffs rising to 200%. Cassidy also mentioned concerns about Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s HHS leadership and vaccine policy promises.
