Trump’s 2025 tariff policy initially exempted certain goods, like pharmaceuticals and semiconductors, from the 10% baseline and reciprocal tariffs. The administration aims to protect U.S. industries, but debates persist over whether exemptions undermine the strategy or prevent shortages and price spikes worldwide.

There should not be a tariff war going on in the first place, but if there are tariff's essentials should be exempt.
@8BP8QFF 1mo1MO
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.
@B5LT37G2wks2W
No as it hard to determine what is essential, this could vary by extremes as to what that could mean.
@B5LGGPC2wks2W
The government should stop putting the burden of paying big pharma on U.S. citizens and spread the wealth to other countries.
@B5L8F2P2wks2W
They shouldn't have put on the tariffs in the first place, and should've expanded the price caps on pharmaceuticals
@B5L3BRS 2wks2W
Essential goods like pharmaceuticals, food, and medical supplies should be exempt from tariff increases. These are necessities for the sick and poor. Raising their prices is unjust and punishes the most vulnerable. We should protect domestic jobs, but not at the cost of human health and dignity
@8Z5SKCG 2wks2W
No tariffs except on countries with unfair practices and hostile policies toward our country. Combine this also with a incentive for companies to move out of China and relocate certain manufacturing, like pharmaceuticals.
@B5J962N2wks2W
Yes because these medications are helping people and shouldn't be expensive for the average American. If helps people who have chronic illness, mental illness, etc.
