Trump gave relief on generic medicines
No final agreement has been reached yet regarding the trade deal between India and America. Continuous talks are taking place between the representatives of both the countries regarding this. Meanwhile, America has currently postponed the plan to impose tariff on generic drug imports (Trump Tariff on Generic Drug). This decision of Trump will provide great relief to Indian pharmaceutical companies. Indian pharmaceutical companies produce about 50 percent of generic drugs in the US.
