Trump's Pharma CRISIS! Canada BANS Cheap Insulin Exports to US Seniors | The Wolff Responds

TRUMP VS CANADA: THE INSULIN WAR EXPOSED 🇺🇸🇨🇦

In this episode of The Wolff Responds, Prof. Richard Wolff breaks down the escalating pharmaceutical conflict between the US and Canada. As President Trump pushes to import cheap insulin to lower costs for US seniors, Canadian leadership (highlighting Mark Carney's economic stance) effectively bans bulk exports to protect their own domestic supply.

Wolff exposes why this "trade war" is a distraction from the real issue: Big Pharma’s global monopoly power.

By blocking cheap insulin exports to the US, Canada is shielding its own healthcare system from collapse, leaving Trump’s "easy fix" for American drug prices in crisis. Wolff explains why importing drugs isn't a long-term solution and how the profit-driven market fails patients on both sides of the border.
