Video Transcript 00:00 Speaker A Shares of pharma stocks, as the Trump administration weighs a crackdown on pharma ads, they are in decline. According to Bloomberg, this news and shares of Pfizer and AbbVie, they are falling to session lows amid the report.

The Trump administration is discussing policies that would make it harder and more expensive for pharmaceutical companies to advertise directly to patients in a move that could disrupt more than $10 billion in annual ad spending.
