"Local Pharmaceutical Jobs under threat by new US Tariffs" says local TD

A Sligo Leitrim TD says the uncertainty surrounding US tariffs on EU pharmaceuticals is bad news for the North West Region.It remains unclear if US tariffs on EU pharmaceuticals will be higher than agreed.Most EU goods going into the US are under a 15 per cent charge since yesterday.However, US President Donald Trump has threatened to impose a 250 per cent tariff on pharma instead of 15 per cent.Sligo Fianna Fáil deputy Eamon Scanlon says with so many pharma jobs based locally the North West region could be devastated if high tariffs are introduced by President Trump
