Trump's imminent drug tariffs spark alarm in Korean pharma 진행자: 김혜연, Chelsea Proctor 기사 요약: 의약품 관세에 대해서 관세 부과를 확정짓지 않은 트럼프, 곧 발표 예고에 예의주시 중인 한국 제약 바이오 업계 [1] US President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that his administration will soon impose tariffs on imported pharmaceuticals, which had previously been exempt from major "reciprocal" tariff measures, raising alarm across Korea's pharmaceuticals and biotech industries. *exempt 면제하다[받다] *raise alarm 경보를 울리다, 비상 사태가 되다 [2] According to multiple foreign news outlets, Trump made the statement during a dinner hosted by the National Republican Congressional Committee in Washington. There, he suggested that pharmaceuticals companies would likely "relocate operations" to the US, given the size and importance of the American market. *statement 성명, 진술, 서술 *relocate 이전[이동]하다 [3] The US is Korea's largest export destination for pharmaceutical products, making the industry particularly sensitive to such policy changes.
