The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Pharma lobbyists to EU: Cut deals with Trump
Advocates for European drugmakers say other countries must follow the UK to the bargaining table to stave off tariffs and remain competitive.

Lobbyists for some of the world’s largest drug companies are parading a new pricing deal in the U.K. as a model the rest of Europe should emulate if it wants to keep drugmakers from bailing for America.

To President Donald Trump and the lobbyists’ delight, British officials agreed to spend 25 percent more on new medicines in exchange for three years of tariff relief on pharmaceutical exports to the U.S. The move comes as major drugmakers like AstraZeneca and Merck scrap projects in the U.K., and the Trump administration uses tariff threats to get pharma to raise prices on Europeans in order to cut them for Americans.

“The pressure is rising on the EU to do something similar.”
