President Donald Trump signed a new executive order Monday aimed at reshoring pharmaceutical production and reducing U.S. dependence on imported drugs — a move that could reshape global supply chains and pressure major foreign pharma exporters.

🚨 Key Changes Under the Executive Order:

• FDA instructed to fast-track domestic plant approvals

• EPA to accelerate construction permits for U.S. manufacturing facilities

• Tariffs on imported pharmaceuticals may be introduced within two weeks

Trump labeled foreign drug imports a national security threat, citing over $200 billion in annual U.S. pharma imports. Countries most at risk include India, China, and EU member states — especially as many of their pharmaceutical giants rely heavily on U.S. demand.

Who's Affected?

Major global players like Roche, Novartis (SIX:NOVN), Eli Lilly (NYSE:LLY), and Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) are already increasing U.S.-based production to hedge against these potential tariffs.

To further understand which firms are most exposed to U.S. sales, the Revenue Product Segmentation API helps dissect product-level revenue breakdowns — especially important if certain drug lines are produced overseas.

Bottom Line:
If enforced, these tariffs could reshape the global pharma landscape — accelerating investment in U.S. manufacturing while straining international supply chains.
