Trump announces 100 percent tariffs on generic drugs by 2028

US President Donald Trump announced plans to impose a 100% tariff on generic drugs imported into the United States starting August 1, 2026, with the rate increasing to 200% after one year. The goal, according to Trump, is to encourage domestic production of generic medications. However, Swiss pharmaceutical company Sandoz expressed caution, noting that important implementation details were still unclear. Analysts from Bernstein Research cast doubt on the feasibility of Trump’s plan, citing insufficient U.S. manufacturing capacity and low profit margins for generic drug production, which would make relocation economically unviable.

Ziel ist die Verlagerung der Produktion nach den USA. Der Schweizer Generikakonzern Sandoz reagierte zurückhaltend und betont die Bedeutung von Generika für niedrige Gesundheitskosten und den Zugang zu Medikamenten. Analysten wie Bernstein warnen davor, dass die Pläne aufgrund begrenzter US-Produktionskapazitäten und geringer Gewinnmargen kaum umsetzbar sind und zu Engpässen sowie steigenden Preisen führen könnten.
