Trump’s 2025 tariff policy initially exempted certain goods, like pharmaceuticals and semiconductors, from the 10% baseline and reciprocal tariffs.

There should not be a tariff war going on in the first place, but if there are tariff's essentials should be exempt.
@8BP8QFF 4wks4W
This question assumes that we should have tariffs at all. This is an unnecessary tax on the American Consumer when prices are already at record highs.
@B5D5WXN1wk1W
It depends on what it is and it’s realisticness, overall, the answer is no but eventually these items should be manufactured in the US to achieve self sustainability and national security.
@B5CKCJZ1wk1W
Pharmaceuticals should have appropriate tariffs set depending on the nature of the specific product and country of origin. Some tariffs may make sense while others don’t.
@B5CCCN41wk1W
Any drugs that we can make in the U.S. that we get from other countries should have a tariff, but if we can't make them in the U.S, they should have a tariff on them.
@B5BDGYM1wk1W
Yes, although this is unfair to buisness competition in other industries pharmaceuticals save lives and making them more expensive limits the health of Americans
@B5B3B8Q2wks2W
Yes but the government needs to develop a strategy that will provide incentive to people with knowledge in the field to start-up small businesses to compete and challenge large corporations, improve quality of goods, services, so they can provide livable wages while protecting citizens and the environment.
@B59TV5Z2wks2W
No, if we are going to set a policy this damaging, let it be so damaging that the administration has to answer for it.
