Donald Trump will announce tariffs on pharmaceutical products within two weeks.

The President of the United States himself announced it while speaking to journalists at the White House: America is being "unfairly robbed" compared to other nations in the world, he said, according to American media reports.

Speculation about tariffs on pharmaceutical products had already been raised earlier, when the Trump administration had instructed the Department of Commerce to investigate the effect of drug imports on national security.

Also yesterday, Trump signed an executive order to incentivize drug manufacturing in the United States, so that pharmaceutical companies could build new manufacturing sites.
