The United States is amid a dangerous drug shortage that endangers patients, undermines our health care system and exposes a deep vulnerability to national security. America’s overwhelming reliance on foreign manufacturers for generic drugs is at the center of it.
On April 2, President Donald Trump took bold and historic action to defend American industry with the announcement of sweeping new tariffs aimed at countering unfair foreign trade practices and reigniting U.S. manufacturing. Dubbed “Liberation Day”, this policy marks the first major step in a new era of economic revitalization—one where the United States refuses to accept the systematic dismantling of its industrial base and begins to chart a path back to true production-led prosperity.
The Trump administration’s decision to impose a permanent 10% baseline tariff on imports from all countries, combined strategically with higher reciprocal tariffs on nations engaging in unfair trade practices, marks a crucial step forward in reindustrializing America and restoring economic strength and security.
Break out the Grizzly cooler and fire up the Broilmaster—it’s Liberation Day. In President Trump’s words, April 2 marks the end of the US of A being “ripped off by virtually every country in the world.”
