[1] US President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that his administration will soon impose tariffs on imported pharmaceuticals, which had previously been exempt from major "reciprocal" tariff measures, raising alarm across Korea’s pharmaceuticals and biotech industries.

*exempt 면제하다[받다]

*raise alarm 경보를 울리다, 비상 사태가 되다

[2] According to multiple foreign news outlets, Trump made the statement during a dinner hosted by the National Republican Congressional Committee in Washington. There, he suggested that pharmaceuticals companies would likely "relocate operations" to the US, given the size and importance of the American market.

*statement 성명, 진술, 서술

*relocate 이전[이동]하다

[3] The US is Korea’s largest export destination for pharmaceutical products, making the industry particularly sensitive to such policy changes. Data from the Korea Customs Service shows that Korean pharmaceutical exports to the US reached $1.51 billion last year, a 50 percent increase from $1 billion the year before. The US accounted for 18 percent of Korea’s total pharmaceutical exports during this period.

*account for 설명하다, 처리하다

[4] Industry experts believe any new pharmaceutical tariffs are likely to be phased in gradually rather than implemented abruptly. “While being a massive market, the US is also heavily reliant on foreign pharmaceuticals, which limits its ability to impose aggressive tariffs overnight,” a senior official in Korea's biopharmaceuticals industry said.

*phased (일의 진행을) 단계적으로 하다

*abruptly 갑자기, 불쑥, 뜻밖에
