TRUMP’S SHOCK ULTIMATUM: BIG PHARMA GIVEN 60 DAYS TO SLASH DRUG PRICES OR FACE CRACKDOWN
President Donald Trump’s administration has issued a 60-day
ultimatum to major pharmaceutical companies: cut prescription drug prices
for Americans or face sweeping federal action.
The White House sent letters to top CEOs demanding “
Most-Favored-Nation” pricing, meaning
U.S. patients should pay no more than people in other wealthy nations.
The move, one of Trump’s most aggressive efforts yet
, targets soaring costs that leave millions of Americans rationing medication.
Drugmakers reacted with alarm
, warning lower prices could stifle innovation, while critics argue
Big Pharma has long used that excuse to justify massive profits.
The ultimatum sets the stage for a fierce showdown
, with Trump framing it as a fight to protect
American families and end “global freeloading.”
The outcome could reshape both drug costs and the future of U.S. healthcare.
