Europe must revisit its global health strategy18 and other regional blocs must invest in global health.19 Trump’s proposed tariffs could empower governments to adopt stronger public health policies like marketing restrictions, taxes, and bans on unhealthy food in schools, emulating initiatives in Latin America and the Caribbean.20Trump 2.0 will be extremely disruptive for global health, but he will not be around forever.
