yeah, they were clearly talking about it. Seems the deal isnt happening.

Thing is trump is routinely talking about the US buying into companies, the fact that 1/2 the time he's full of shit doesnt change that they are indeed looking at doing more. 3 so far

Here's Trump playing stupid again... claims he didn't hear anything about a certain supreme court ruling today... I guess he actually fools some people with this obvious BS... :lmao:

Trump: "Who are we talking about? You know, I haven't heard the name in so long."

Local Walmart in Seminole County. I paid that last week. I note Aldi was slightly higher. About $2.59 as I recall. I don't shop Publix. They are typically a ripoff. Great bakery though. Winn Dixie for beef.

Credit where its due, there are some short term benefits to strong-arming the world with tariff threats.
(long term I think many of these efforts will fizzle as tariffs are rarely a long term solution)

It remains to be seen though, its not yet a reality and its a limited number of drugs.
Are they just telling him what he wants to hear to stretch things out for 3 years like so many others have done?

....I still think that there is a question mark surrounding how onerous the tariffs would actually be, particularly for European Union-based drugs companies,” Streeter said.

Meanwhile, U.S.-based financial services and investment research firm Morningstar said in a Sept. 25 report that tariffs on imported pharmaceuticals would likely have only a limited long-term effect on major drugmakers.
