Quiver AI Summary
U.S. Senator Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M.) announced that following his advocacy against proposed tariffs of up to 250% on pharmaceutical imports from the European Union, the Trump administration has retracted its tariff threat. The senator emphasized that such tariffs would have negatively affected prescription drug costs and access for Americans.
Luján stated, "Thanks to efforts to raise the alarm...the Trump administration backed down," highlighting concerns over rising prescription prices. He had previously warned the administration about the potential harmful impacts of these tariffs on both consumers and domestic pharmaceutical manufacturers.
Additionally, the Trump administration will provide special treatment for generic medications from the European Union, a request included in Luján's letter to the president. The senator plans to continue advocating for similar agreements to help mitigate rising drug costs.
