Dec 11 (Reuters) – Britain has promised the United States that spending on National Health Service (NHS) medicines will rise by 1.5 billion pounds ($2 billion) over the next three years, the Financial Times said on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The pledge is part of a deal to win exemption from drug import levies threatened by U.S. President Donald Trump, that aims to boost such spending to 0.35% of GDP from 0.3% by the end of 2028, the paper said, citing people familiar with the deal.<\/p>\n
