“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,” Trump said. “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.”

The president doesn’t have the power to unilaterally dictate pharmaceutical prices. The federal government has some power to set the prices paid by Medicare/Medicaid recipients, but let’s be very clear that reform in this regard has been blocked by Republicans for decades. When the Biden Admin did it for just a handful of medications, the screeching was deafening.

Anyway, my point is that as usual, this is bluster with no actual implementable policy behind it
