U.S. President Donald Trump announced 100% tariffs on certain branded pharmaceutical imports, with exemptions reducing rates to 0% for many companies. Tariffs on branded drugs will be capped at 15% under trade agreements with the EU, Japan, South Korea, and Switzerland. A separate deal with Britain guarantees zero tariffs on British-made pharmaceuticals for three years. Additionally, Trump halved the duty rate to 25% on many derivative metal products and maintained a 50% duty on commodity imports of steel, aluminum, and copper.
