Translated title: Why she can't get her new medication because of Trump.
Article from Zeit about companies just not releasing new meds in europe anymore after the trump threats for tariffs if the american price is much higher.
Going to copy the translated most relevant bits as a comment below.
But its uncanny how it is playing 1:1 with those articles from the time that warned about the process causing same-medications schisms and a medium-long term trend of european Pharm decoupling from the american one/starting to allign with developing countries regarding patents (ie: the standards of stricter secondary patent laws, compulsory licensing rights , threatening market access in case of medication discrimination etc).

Relevant summup bits:
> A year ago, Donald Trump issued a decree in Washington, fueled by great anger. He would no longer tolerate medications costing three times as much in the US as in other industrialized nations, Trump said. And he demanded: Medications must become cheaper for Americans – and more expensive for the “foreign parasites.”
(….)
> And the corporations are now taking action. However, not as expected: Instead of drastically lowering the prices of new drugs in the US, they are not offering them in the comparison countries at all.

I feel you should have translated the title as well.
Huh so Trump keeps finding new ways to fuck over the rest of the world. He really does have the Midas touch of poop.
