Elon Musk recently clashed with Peter Navarro, President Trump’s trade advisor, after Navarro commented on tariffs during a CNBC interview. Trump announced that his administration will soon impose tariffs on pharmaceuticals from foreign countries, suggesting that drug companies will move their operations to the U.S. as a result. An exchange in February indicated that tariffs on imported drugs could start around 25%. Analysts and academics warn that this tariff will increase consumer prices. Trump claimed that the tariffs will benefit Republicans in the 2026 midterm elections, despite concerns about the economic impact. The White House announced that tariffs on Chinese goods will increase to 104% starting Wednesday, with additional tariffs imposed after China’s response to reciprocal tariffs. Overall, the situation remains tense and uncertain, with potential implications for both the economy and politics.
