The Concept of Innovative Drugs has been severely attacked! Trump suddenly posts: We need to reduce drug prices in the USA by up to 80% immediately!
① The President of the USA, Trump, will sign an executive order on Monday aimed at reducing the prices of USA prescription pharmaceuticals and medications by 30% to 80% immediately; ② The executive order will implement a "most-favored-nation policy," aligning the prices paid in the USA with those of the country with the lowest drug prices in the world; ③ Trump referred to this executive order as "one of the most important executive orders in USA history," expecting it to save trillions of dollars.
Same pharmaceuticals, same price? Trump will mandate that USA pharmaceutical prices match those of the lowest-priced countries, stating that "USA pharmaceutical prices could drop by 30% to 80%."
Trump believes that this policy will "unprecedentedly" lower Medical Care costs in the USA, while the export price of American drugs will rise, leading to an increase in Global drug prices "to achieve balance." He stated that he will sign this executive order at 9 a.m. local time on Monday.
Trump wants to impose tariffs on Pharmaceuticals: Pharmaceutical companies are busy stockpiling, and the import volume in the USA surged in March.
① The volume of Pharmaceutical imports in the USA surged in March, as pharmaceutical companies stockpiled products in anticipation of potential tariffs; ② A report released by the US Department of Commerce on Tuesday showed that the total value of Pharmaceutical imports in March exceeded 50 billion USD, equivalent to 20% of the total Pharmaceutical imports for the entire year of 2024.
Trump is at it again: reducing the approval time for domestic pharmaceutical companies in the USA.
Trump's obsession with the Industry Chain should not be underestimated!

Could tariffs in the USA lead to a shortage of Pharmaceuticals? The Industry warns that low-profit generic drugs are facing a production crisis.
