    Great! Medicines will now be even more expensive for patients in the United States. Genius!

        Novo produces a lot of Wegovy/Ozempic in the US, in North Carolina specifically. But I don’t know if it’s enough to cover US demand, probably not.

              Basically all basics for US manufacturing comes from India or (mostly) China. The US does not produce the screws that keep American products together, nor do they make the myriads of little electronic parts found on any electronics board. Without nails from China, the American stick&cardboard houses would not hold together.
