Big Pharma’s big tariffs

Swamp Notes, a podcast from the Financial Times, discusses the potential impact of Donald Trump's proposed tariffs on the pharmaceutical industry. The discussion includes Trump's history with the pharma industry, the likelihood of the tariffs being implemented, and the potential effects on drug prices and manufacturing. The podcast also explores the impact of potential cuts to federal funding for scientific research and concerns about potential appointments of vaccine skeptics to key health positions. A Q&A segment addresses the change in the number of leaks coming from the Trump administration compared to his first term, attributing it to increased discipline and professionalization within the administration.
