UK warned of pharma firm exodus -----6 Nov 2025 14:51
------is the title of an article on the front page of today's Times Business Section by Alex Ralph the Chief Business Correspondent.
In essence, big US pharma companies will be under orders from Trump to not only cancel future investments in the UK but also shut down their facilities in the UK., ie firms such as Eli Lilly, Johnson & Johnson, Bristol Myers Squibb etc. Trump wants the UK to pay more for some US made medicines in exchange foe a deal on tariffs and the exodus is his leverage presumably.
Should make the case for dealing with Novartis even stronger I would have thought, or other (more stable and trustworthy) partners.
