Gillibrand Statement On President Trump's Tariffs On Branded Drugs
Sep 26, 2025
Today, U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand released the following statement on the sweeping new import tariffs announced by President Trump, which include 100% duties on branded drugs:
"At a time when families are already struggling with high health care costs, President Trump's new tariffs will make things even worse. These tariffs are a direct tax on working families. They'll hurt seniors on fixed incomes, parents of children with chronic conditions, and working Americans by raising the price of life-saving medications. This isn't about putting America first; it's about scoring political points at the cost of the American people.
I'm committed to doing everything I can to lower the price of prescription drugs so that all Americans can get the medications they need at a price they can afford."
