1157 GMT - It is unclear how new U.S. drug tariffs relate to a U.S.-EU trade deal capping levies, Novo Nordisk CEO Mike Doustdar says. The Danish pharma group looks forward to working with the Trump administration, but it is uncertain whether the earlier deal between the U.S. and the EU will keep tariffs at 15% rather than the 100% announced by President Trump, Doustdar writes in a statement. Construction is under way on a Novo Nordisk manufacturing site in North Carolina, he adds. Trump announced Thursday that the tariffs would hit pharmaceutical companies not building U.S. plants. Novo Nordisk shares are down 1.7%. (william.gray@wsj.com)
