Pfizer posts strong earnings despite Trump's new 'up to 250%' tariff threat

Pharmaceutical giant Pfizer reported better-than-expected quarterly results on Tuesday and improved its predictions for full-year profits, beating Wall Street expectations. The New York-based company reported second-quarter sales of $14.7 billion (€12.74bn) and earnings per share of $0.51 (€0.44). As of around 16.00 CEST, Pfizer shares were up over 4% at $24.58. "Our business is performing well and I'm pleased with the progress we achieved in the second quarter," chairman and CEO Albert Bourla said in a statement. "We continue to be actively engaged with policymakers as we navigate a complicated and rapidly evolving geopolitical environment while also remaining focused on advancing our business," Bourla continued. This despite several policies announced by the current US administration that could hurt drugmakers. Related Irish exports hit record high with pharmaceuticals showing major boost EU Commission loses on all counts in Pfizergate legal case In May, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order whereby pharmaceutical companies would be compelled to lower prices based on a "Most Favored Nation" policy. The price-slashing scheme seeks to ban drug companies from selling products in the US at prices above those in other developed countries. In Europe, the comparison becomes complex, as a significant portion pharmaceutical costs are covered by national healthcare or insurance systems, lowering prices for consumers. Experts warned at the time that this could slash their US revenues and affect availability. Even so, the president doubled down on his plans, sending letters last week to 17 drugmakers, calling for concrete steps to cut prices by 29 September. That includes agreeing to provide their full portfolio of existing medicines at no higher than European prices to every single Medicaid patient. On Tuesday, in an interview with CNBC, he announced that tariffs for pharmaceuticals and semiconductors would be coming in "next week". 'We'll be putting an initially small tariff on pharmaceuticals, but in one year, one-and-a-half years, maximum, it's going to go to 150% and then it's going to go to 250% because we want pharmaceuticals made in our country," he told CNBC.

Trump administration wants to end abortion coverage through Veterans Affairs

President Donald Trump's administration is calling to remove abortion coverage from the list of medical benefits for veterans and their families, saying it's not needed. The Department of Veterans Affairs posted the proposed rule change on Monday and opened a public comment period on it that runs through Sept. 3. The department said in its proposal that it wants to ensure it 'provides only needed medical services to our nation's heroes and their families.' The department says it would still provide abortion in life-threatening circumstances — something state laws allow, even in places where bans are in place. But critics of the change note that abortion would not be provided when pregnancies are the result of rape or incest. Amy Friedrich-Karnik, director of federal policy at the Guttmacher Institute, said in a statement that the change would cut off millions of veterans and their families from services. 'Veterans have historically faced significant barriers to reproductive health care, and with the current patchwork of abortion bans and restrictions across the country, these barriers are even steeper today," she said. Veterans Affairs, which provides health coverage for veterans and their dependents, did not include abortion in its coverage until 2022.
