Trump Clashes With House GOP Over Major Drug Pricing Plan, Reports Insider

Donald Trump and the House Republicans had disagreements over drug pricing, which is the topic of an important declaration the president unveiled over the weekend .

On Sunday, Trump turned to his personal social platform, Truth Social, and declared what he referred to as "one of the most significant decrees in our nation's history." The decree outlined a strategy for regulating prescription drug prices.

For decades, people around the world have been puzzled as to why prescription drugs and pharmaceutical products in the United States cost so much more than they do elsewhere—often five to ten times higher than identical medications produced in the same labs or plants by the same companies. This disparity was hard to justify and quite humiliating since there wasn’t actually an appropriate explanation,” Trump noted. “Pharmaceutical firms had long maintained that this price difference stemmed from research and development expenses, which Americans alone were expected to bear without justification.”
