Three obstacles that could slow down domestic drug production:
- Legal obligations: The U.S. may need to reopen existing trade agreements to avoid violating the World Trade Organization.
- Environmental guidelines: Domestic drug manufacturing sites will have to comply with emission standards outlined in the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act.
- Time: It usually takes about 18 months to relocate a drug production site, and it can take five to seven years to actually begin manufacturing at a steady rate.
