Roche CEO says his team is in touch with White House directly over tariffs

  • Roche is seeking relief from US import tariffs, arguing that its exports of American-made drugs and diagnostics offset the value of products it ships into the country. Reporting a conference call with chief executive Thomas Schinecke, Reuters said the Swiss pharma giant is engaged in ongoing discussions with officials in President Donald Trump's administration, highlighting concerns that a strict push for domestic-only production could sharply increase costs.
