President Trump announced plans to impose significant tariffs on generic drugs, potentially reaching 100% by August 2028 and 200% the following year. This policy aims to encourage domestic manufacturing, as approximately 90% of generic prescriptions are filled by drugs largely produced overseas, particularly in India.

The announcement was made on Truth Social with limited additional details, raising questions about its implementation and enforcement. AI
