In 2025, expanded U.S. tariffs on pharmaceuticals, APIs, and medical devices from China and India sought to reduce foreign dependence but instead strained supply chains, raised drug prices, and restricted access for vulnerable communities.

It concludes that a hybrid approach—immediate tariff relief paired with long-term production incentives—best protects patient care while advancing trade policy goals.
