Trump’s aggressive 100 % tariff on imported branded drugs could reshape U.S. healthcare supply chains while hitting exporters worldwide. For Indian pharma, ambiguity over generics and the potential push toward U.S. manufacturing make this a crucial turning point. Broader tariffs on furniture and trucks reinforce a wider protectionist wave. Investors should brace for volatility, track company strategies, and stay nimble as trade battles evolve.
