    Well in the short term yes. Americans pay the tariifs , yet it does hurt the World Economy and European exports too.

    In the medium/ long run smart people decouple economically, and take their business elsewhere. Like EU w / Canada, Australia, Mercosur, Asia, Japan etc. And that’s when it will really hurt the USA.

      It hurts EU exports only to the extent where the US can subsidize EU imports with something else. For example you can only get Ozempic from Denmark so that’s just a 10% tax on Ozempic because it’s going to be imported regardless.

        You can get tirzepatide (Mounjaro/Zepbound) from Eli Lilly & Co; which is a combined GLP-1- and GIP-agonist, and is slightly more efficacious than semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy) for weight loss. The main reasons to choose semaglutide over tirzepatide is if the patient has established cardiovascular disease without diabetes, because there is evidence for it reducing the risk of major cardiovascular events in that population; or if the patient really prefers a pill to an injectable.

        The point being… there are alternatives to Ozempic in the US by American companies. I also think you mean “substitute”, not “subsidize”.
