G20 Meeting: U.S. Tariffs and Debt Discussions Impacting Growth

Despite the Supreme Court striking down various tariffs earlier this year, the U.S. has imposed a 50% import tax on many Canadian goods. Eli Lilly CEO Dave Ricks discussed that GLP-1 medications may not have fully penetrated the economy yet, with only 25 to 30 million users out of a potential billion globally. These developments suggest potential shifts in market dynamics affecting both tariffs and healthcare spending.
