(Reuters) -The UK government is set to offer to pay more for certain medicines to protect pharmaceutical exports to the United States, The Financial Times reported on Friday, amid threats of 100% tariffs on drugs by Donald Trump’s administration.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s chief business adviser, Varun Chandra, will travel to Washington next week with a message that Britain is willing to increase its spending on medicines, the report added.
The British government did not immediately respond to Reuters’ request for comment. Reuters could not immediately verify the report.
