"Stellantis (Jeep Chrysler etc) wants to build Chinese Leapmotor EVs at its idled Canadian plant"

Great news, except "build" has to mean something more than hiring five people to "put the tires back on"

Negotiate harder. Get it done. Use Canadian supply chains.

Get it done.

Trump unveils 100% tariff that could hit some patented drugs this year

President Donald Trump has signed an executive order that could slap long-threatened pharmaceutical tariffs of up to 100% on some patented drugs from companies that don’t reach deals with his administration in the coming months. Companies that have signed a “most favored nation” pricing deal and are actively building facilities in the U.S. to onshore production of patented pharmaceuticals and their ingredients will have a 0% tariff. For those that don’t have a pricing deal but are building such projects in the U.S., a 20% tariff will apply but increase to 100% in four years. Companies still have months to negotiate before the 100% tariffs kick in. Also Thursday, Trump rolled out an update on his 50% tariffs on imported steel, aluminum and copper.
