WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand released the following statement on the sweeping new import tariffs announced by President Trump, which include 100% duties on branded drugs.
“At a time when families are already struggling with high health care costs, President Trump’s new tariffs will make things even worse. These tariffs are a direct tax on working families. They’ll hurt seniors on fixed incomes, parents of children with chronic conditions, and working Americans by raising the price of life-saving medications. This isn’t about putting America first; it’s about scoring political points at the cost of the American people.
I’m committed to doing everything I can to lower the price of prescription drugs so that all Americans can get the medications they need at a price they can afford.”
