The optics of this are terrible and the US should be working with other countries. But my guess is even if the US worked with Europe on distribution >90% of it would go to the US anyway. The need stateside is exponentially greater.

My guess is that Gilead played Trump and will now backtrack to make a licensing deal so that the EU can produce its own at a lower price.

There’s nothing stopping Gilead from allowing more licensing now that it has squeezed all it can from its best customer.
