John Kuckelman discusses Novo Nordisk's accusations against Eli Lilly regarding misleading advertising for obesity drugs.

Novo Nordisk Group General Counsel & Senior Vice President John Kuckelman speaks with Bloomberg's Dani Burger and Isabelle Lee after the company on Tuesday accused rival Eli Lilly of misleading advertising.
