As Trump’s Trade War Grows, China Hits Medical Device Makers

The medical technology industry is bracing for a big hit from Donald Trump’s trade war with China with nearly $5 billion in U.S. medical devices now impacted from retaliatory Chinese tariffs.

Waves of the Trump administration’s tariffs now impact more than $250 billion in Chinese goods, which analysts say are about half of that country’s goods being sold to U.S. consumers and companies.
