Protect Irish jobs amid incoming Tariff Plans

The Government’s “over-arching priority” is to protect Irish jobs amid concerns US President Donald Trump’s incoming tariff plans could see pharmaceutical and other firms reduce their presence in Ireland, Taoiseach Micheál Martin has said.

Tánaiste Simon Harris also said the country is facing an economic challenge and turbulence ahead as the prospect of US trade tariffs hangs over the country.

It comes after Mr Trump said the US will be introducing tariffs on pharmaceuticals – specifically citing Ireland among the countries where many pharmaceutical products are made.
