#Trump has said the #tariffs will incentivize #drug companies to move operations to the US. However, analysts & companies have raised concerns about the difficulty in setting up manufacturing in the country.

"While the details are scant, we are strongly opposed to tariffs on any #pharmaceuticals — these will likely do little to shift manufacturing back to the US," said BMO Capital Markets analyst Evan Seigerman.

#FDA #Layoffs Could Raise #Drug Costs and Erode Food Safety No mission, no research, no science, no knowledge. #FDA is eviscerated. In many areas of the #FDA, no #employees remain to process payroll, to file #retirement or layoff paperwork and to help overseas #inspectors who are at risk of maxing out agency credit cards. Even the agency’s #library where researchers and experts relied on medical journal subscriptions that have now been canceled, has been shut down. archive.is/NBha8

In addition to merging the Drug Enforcement Agency #DEA & Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives #ATF, DOJ leaders are considering eliminating field offices that handle #antitrust & #environmental cases, according to a March 25 memo seen by Reuters.
