Trump's Greenland plan could affect Ozempic, Legos, hearing aids: report

Salon  

President-elect Donald Trump's threat to "tariff Denmark at a very high level" if it refuses to give up Greenland could affect weight loss medications like Ozempic, Lego bricks and hearing aids, The New York Times reports. Denmark is the leading supplier of hearing aids to the U.S., per The Times, and is home to Novo Nordisk, the maker of Ozempic and Wegovy. Trump wants 25% tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada and an additional 10% tariff on goods from China unless the countries stem the flow of migrants and drugs into the U.S. Economists have warned the tariffs could increase consumer prices in the U.S., and Trump hasn't disagreed. "Roughly half of Denmark’s recent exports to the United States are packaged medicines, insulin, vaccines and antibiotics,” The Times reports, citing data from the Observatory of Economic Complexity.
