UNITED STATES, JUL 31 – President Trump demands 17 pharmaceutical companies align U.S. drug prices with lowest international rates and return excess overseas revenue to reduce costs for Medicaid patients and new drugs.
- Donald Trump has ordered 17 major pharmaceutical companies to lower drug prices within 60 days, or face consequences, as noted in his letters.
- Trump's action follows an executive order he signed, aimed at aligning U.S. drug prices with the lowest prices paid by other developed nations.
- Key players like Eli Lilly, Merck, and AstraZeneca must adhere to Trump's demand for lower Medicaid prices and future drugs at these rates.
