INA Contribution to X, Trump said, “I will introduce the most popular national policy where the United States will pay the same price as the nation that pays the lowest price anywhere in the world.”

“We will have a very, very large announcement – as much as it gets,” Trump said last week.
He came to his first term accusing pharmaceutical society of “leakage with murder” and complained that other countries whose governments set drug prices were used by Americans.
Our country will finally be treated fairly and the cost of health care with our citizens will be reduced by the number they have never considered.
