The company said it would invest the $50 billion in the U.S. over the next five years, creating more than 12,000 jobs. Roche said 1,000 of the jobꦅs would be with the company, and the rest “in support of new US manufacturing 🐲capabilities.” It said it already employs more than 25,000 people in 24 sites across eight states in the U.S.

The prospect of  pharma tariffs are also weighing on Roche and Novartis (NVS), which this month announced plans to invest 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:$23 billion in the U.S.
