    all generic drugs brought into the US will continue to have a tariff of 0% for two years starting from August 1, after which the tariff rate will be raised to 100% for one year and to 200% thereafter

    I doubt this will survive two years and actually go into effect. I’m honesty surprised it’s not another ‘effective immediately’ late night truthsocial ramble - rewritten into an executive order.
