AdvaMed Statement on President’s Reciprocal Tariff Pause
WASHINGTON – Today AdvaMed, the Medtech Association, released the following statement from President and CEO Scott Whitaker:
“We are encouraged by the President’s announcement of a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs. This is an important decision that restores some short-term certainty to global markets, including the American medtech industry, which is number one globally.
