The former president announces a new executive order to slash prescription drug prices and save billions
A bold move: more affordable drugs for all
Donald Trump made headlines again on Truth Social with an announcement that could reshape the US healthcare system. He pledged to sign one of the most important executive orders in American history, aiming to cut prescription drug prices by 30% to 80%. The initiative, if implemented, could lead to billions in savings for both American citizens and the public healthcare infrastructure.
The embarrassing truth behind American drug prices
“For many years, the world has wondered why prescription drugs in the US are so much more expensive than in any other country,” Trump stated, calling it “difficult to explain and very embarrassing.” The truth is, American patients often pay far more for medications than people in other developed nations—an issue long criticized by economists and healthcare advocates alike.
A direct challenge to Big Pharma
With this move, Trump is setting himself up as a challenger to the powerful Big Pharma industry, which has long benefited from intense lobbying and stringent patent protections. The new executive order promises to break the monopoly of pharmaceutical giants, fostering competition and making life-saving drugs more accessible.
A move to win back public support
The announcement has stirred public debate, welcomed by supporters but met with skepticism by some healthcare experts. Many see it as a clear effort to regain public support, especially by addressing a deeply felt issue among the American population: the crushing cost of medicine. But whether the executive order will be signed, and more importantly enforced, remains an open question in a system as complex as the American healthcare landscape.
