Australia is very concerned about U.S. President Donald Trump’s latest threat to raise tariffs on pharmaceutical imports by up to 250% over the longer term, its health minister said on Thursday.
Trump said this week that the United States would first impose a “small” tariff on foreign-made drugs before hiking it to 150% within 18 months and eventually to 250% in an effort to boost domestic production.
Mark Butler said the plan would be a blow to producers such as CSL, opens new tab, Australia’s largest biotech company.


America can eat shit.
We should be telling them that if they increase tariffs over Pharma, we’ll just adopt India’s position of not honoring pharmaceutical patents.
That actually sounds like it could be beneficial to a lot of people if we found a way to limit pharma patents.
Free Open Source Pharma (FOSP) would be nice. I’ve only seen small things like the Four Thieves Vinegar Collection before though. https://fourthievesvinegar.org/microlab/
Americans actually do eat shit!
No PPM limit for Fecal contamination in US Meat, only if it’s ‘visible’. mmmmm
… they just call it corn syrup.
Isn’t that more akin to diarrhea, solid shit is more like a triple baconator with curly fries.
Exactly why honor their parents at this point.
