Episode 95 — Drug Pricing: FDA in the Age of Executive Orders and DOGE

March 12, 2025
The Department of Government Efficiency, Trump executive orders, and a recent Office of Management and Budget memorandum are making drastic changes at FDA. The Latham team discusses the potential impacts on FDA approval and enforcement activities, including with respect to novel tobacco and nicotine products.

The initial months of the Trump administration have been marked by a flurry of executive orders and significant activity by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The US Food and Drug Administration is a key target of these efforts. In this episode of Connected With Latham, Washington, D.C. partners Chris Schott and Ben Haas and associate Danny Machado explore how FDA may be affected, particularly as it relates to novel tobacco and nicotine products, which can be a bellwether for approval and enforcement trends more generally.
