Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) is urging the Trump administration to immediately impose Section 232 tariffs on foreign generic medicines, warning that the U.S. pharmaceutical supply chain is vulnerable due to its “overreliance on adversaries,” particularly communist China.
Scott, chairman of the Special Committee on Aging who also serves on the Foreign Relations Committee, sent an Oct. 3 letter to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer. The senator applauded the two officials for their work on “advancing President [Donald] Trump’s America First agenda and protecting Americans from foreign adversarial threats.”
