Pfizer-Allergan $160 billion merger sparks debate

Global Business

U.S. pharmaceutical giant Pfizer is buying Botox maker Allergan for 160 billion dollars.

But size isn’t everything. The deal involves Pfizer shifting its headquarters to Ireland and that means it can slash its tax bill.
It has stoked a very contentious debate here in the U.S. and looks set to be a big issue in the presidential election.
