[Red State] Perhaps COVID showed us that we really don’t know what is happening abroad, and we are better off assuring proper R&D here in the States. If these tariffs ultimately are enacted, I think it’s time we stop relying on other countries to provide medications for Americans and bring the manufacturing home. It would ensure national security and make sure proper regulations are followed.
President Trump has said he wants to cut red tape and allow manufacturing here. There is no reason why incentives can’t be given to generic companies to allow for the majority of drugs to be made here, which can then allow us to be an exporter. The health of Americans is a high priority for President Trump and newly confirmed Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. If serious, this is a sure way to ensure Americans remain healthy and ensure we know what we are truly ingesting. |
