Donald Trump threat to pharma jobs: Expansion delay

President Trump made many wild promises before he was elected, all designed to “Make America Great Again” by reversing unstoppable trends in today’s ever more connected and automated world.

One was “to bring the jobs home” by changing tax laws that make operating outside of America so attractive to American firms.

Sceptics suggest this policy might further enrich corporate America but do little enough for those millions of blue-collar workers left high and dry in the Rust Belt. It may do little enough for workers in Ireland’s pharma sector either.
