Since most U.S. research projects are constrained by grant-dependent budgets, they would be unable to absorb a 5% to 25% cost spike for monkeys, according to the NABR. While some researchers will be forced to scale back projects due to the tariffs, others might cease U.S. operations and move research to China.
The number of nonhuman primates tested in U.S. labs increased by 22% from 2015 to 2017, according to the Department of Agriculture. In 2017, U.S. researchers experimented on 75,825 nonhuman primates, mostly rhesus macaques, the Chinese- and Indian-derived monkeys with brown fur and a reddish-pink face.
"The bigger picture is that in terms of utilizing nonhuman primates to make advancements in medical treatments, that momentum is shifting to China. They are putting huge investments in, whereas the U.S. isn't," he said. Harvard University shuttered its national primate research center in 2015 following an investigation into four animal deaths. That same year, the NIH ended funding for all invasive chimpanzee studies and said those animals were no longer needed for research.
Tariffs on monkeys He's gone too far, we need one to replace Him!!
Lets put a tariff on Joe Biden’s gaffs when he talks. I think we would balance the budget or at least be able to build the wall..
Oh well
There must be a substitute good. I'm sure if they look hard enough they'll find many.
What I know about monkeys: social structure with each other, objects or fruit shared like favor bartering. Grief of mates in death. Rank of strongest or eldest.
Tariffs on monkeys Can they pay in peanuts 🥜
...yawn......

Good!
They need to stop testing on animals.
More food for the Chinese then. Markets fall, other markets rise.
Be careful what you wish for! You might move to China but your lab results might be taken away. Don’t be penny wise.
Maybe the researchers should use the Trump family in place of the monkeys
Is this a picture of trump before the election and today🤡👺👿
1st step to getting the monkey off our backs
Trump is monkey. He should be imposed.
So, China has the monkey market cornered? I’m sure we can find some primates in other parts of the world that would be willing to sell us at a reasonable price.
Stop this monkey business
Lol
emma_newburger The clowns at CNBC are really scraping the bottom of the barrel to bash Trump. Once the deal goes through there will not be one mention of how the playing field has been leveled due to Trump putting in the hard work to get something done.
Leave the innocent monkeys alone, use the inmates on death row as research monkeys.
Trump put tariffs on his family?
Gues we’ll go back to torturing rabbits and mice. Reminds me of the Chick-fil-A billboards.
Really? There are lots of monkeys in India and Indonesia
China already tortures just about any animal on this planet ... this is reaching.🙄
Good leave the damn monkees alone
not really great for those Monkeys either!!
Why are we not testing research on murderers, rapists, molesters? These monkeys did nothing wrong, and we can save money.
I don’t believe why they can’t find monkeys from other countries
We are smarter than this! savethemonkeys leaveanimalsalone
Robots
Praying for our monkeys 🙏🏻 🐒 🍌
Okay sry
Pita will like that.
