We all better hope India doesn't cutoff its supply of generic drugs to this country:

India is a major supplier of pharmaceuticals, particularly generic drugs, to the United States. Approximately 47% of all generic prescriptions in the US are filled by Indian companies. This significant supply contributes to billions of dollars in savings for the US healthcare system. However, recent discussions about reciprocal tariffs could potentially impact this trade relationship.

Yes, especially ant-viral drugs.

Pharmaceuticals are currently excluded from the tariffs but that doesn’t stop India from declaring an embargo on the drugs.

Why do I feel this is not really about “Russian oil?”

Trump has been particularly aggressive with Canada, South Africa and India.

Little to do with Russia/Ukraine, but all are active outposts of the rump-UK empire and WEF globalism.

Just a thought.....

“generic drugs”

Another thread said the sanctions take effect August 27th.

[unverified]

Available stocks could be air freighted to the USA to beat the tariff increase.

India will go nowhere but to the bargaining table to make a deal.

"This significant supply contributes to billions of dollars in savings of profit for the US healthcare system." Makes no difference in the customer price.

Fixed it.
