History

Historical Context

The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act reduced U.S. corporate tax rates to 21%, prompting companies like AstraZeneca to commit $50 billion to U.S. operations by 2030. This shift reflects a broader trend in the pharmaceutical industry towards domestic investment and innovation, aiming to strengthen supply chains and enhance drug manufacturing, which could improve healthcare access and stimulate economic growth.
