U.S. President Trump has disclosed that the United States will unveil tariff measures on imports of semiconductors and pharmaceuticals within approximately a week. These actions are part of the government's strategy to reshape global trade by focusing on pivotal economic sectors. In an interview with CNBC, Trump noted that initial tariffs on pharmaceuticals will be modest but will escalate to 150% within a year, and possibly reach 250% within a year and a half. This plan aims to bolster domestic drug production.
