How Generic Drug Tariffs Could Reshape Inflation

Lucas and Luna dissect the Trump administration's plan to impose tariffs on generic drugs starting in 2028, with a two-year delay to encourage domestic production. They explore the potential impact on drug prices, the broader inflation picture, and the challenges of onshoring pharmaceutical manufacturing. Drawing on recent data including a surprise uptick in import prices and declining CPI, they ask whether the policy is a long-term bet against inflation or a risk to consumer health costs. A focused look at a specific policy proposal that could reshape a corner of the economy most Americans feel directly. #GenericDrugTariffs #PharmaceuticalOnshoring #DrugPricing #Inflation #TradePolicy #TrumpAdministration #FedPolicy #CPI #ImportPrices #SupplyChain #Manufacturing #Economics #EconomicsPodcast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #MacroMemo #LucasAndLuna #PolicyAnalysis Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
