WASHINGTON — The Trump administration has prepared an order that would impose a 100% tariff on imports of patented medications and their active ingredients, according to a draft obtained by STAT.
The tariffs could be announced as soon as Thursday, according to a person familiar with the matter. Bloomberg, which first reported on some of the order’s details, also said the announcement could come Thursday. It’s possible that the timeline or details of the plans could change.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
