President Trump Unveils Landmark Executive Order to Slash Prescription Drug Prices
In a bold move that underscores his commitment to putting Americans first, President Donald Trump on Sunday announced what he called one of the “most consequential” executive orders in United States history. The declaration, made through his Truth Social platform, drew widespread anticipation across the political spectrum as the nation awaited details.
Earlier in the day, President Trump teased the announcement, writing that his next post would be “one of the most important and impactful I have ever issued.” The suspense triggered a surge of speculation from media outlets, analysts, and concerned citizens across the country.
When the moment finally came, President Trump focused on an issue that has long burdened working families and the elderly: the outrageous cost of prescription medications. “For many years the world has wondered why prescription drugs and pharmaceuticals in the United States were SO MUCH HIGHER IN PRICE THAN THEY WERE IN ANY OTHER NATION, SOMETIMES BEING FIVE TO TEN TIMES MORE EXPENSIVE THAN THE SAME DRUG, MANUFACTURED IN THE EXACT SAME LABORATORY OR PLANT, BY THE SAME COMPANY???” he wrote, drawing attention to the glaring disparities that have persisted under past administrations.
Calling the situation “embarrassing,” the President blasted Big Pharma for forcing American consumers to shoulder the global cost of drug development, while foreign nations enjoy deep discounts. “The Pharmaceutical/Drug Companies would say, for years, that it was Research and Development Costs, and that all of these costs were, and would be, for no reason whatsoever, borne by the ‘suckers’ of America, ALONE,” Trump stated. “Campaign contributions can do wonders, but not with me, and not with the Republican Party.”
President Trump, who has long refused to bow to special interests, emphasized that despite Democrat rhetoric over the years, it was his administration taking real action. “We are going to do the right thing, something that the Democrats have fought for many years,” he said.
The President then dropped the bombshell: he would sign a sweeping executive order at 9:00 A.M. the following morning that would bring historic relief to millions of Americans. “I am pleased to announce that Tomorrow morning, in the White House, at 9:00 A.M., I will be signing one of the most consequential Executive Orders in our country’s history. Prescription Drug and Pharmaceutical prices will be REDUCED, almost immediately, by 30% to 80%,” he declared.
In addition to lowering prices, Trump unveiled a new international pricing reform designed to end the days of America being taken advantage of. “I will be instituting a MOST FAVORED NATION’S POLICY whereby the United States will pay the same price as the nation that pays the lowest price anywhere in the world,” he explained. It’s a long-overdue measure to ensure that American patients are no longer penalized for the generosity of their government.
President Trump concluded his statement with a vision of renewed fairness and fiscal responsibility. “Our country will finally be treated fairly, and our citizens’ healthcare costs will be reduced by numbers never even thought of before. Additionally, on top of everything else, the United States will save TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS,” he said.
The executive order is poised to reshape the healthcare landscape in the United States and deliver real results where decades of empty promises from establishment politicians have failed. Once again, President Trump is proving that America comes first—no matter what the lobbyists say.
