NHS have their own agreement with the company they don’t buy retail so it doesn’t really matter what trump thinks. They have a contract in place and the pharmaceutical company can’t change the contract halfway through. I don’t know how long the contracts for though.

In that case, the NHS (assuming they don’t have a separate agreement) will have to reduce the amount of it they dispense.
Our health spending is pretty much capped each year: If the price of a drug rises, then the impact/£ ratio will eventually shift that money towards treating something else.

It’s a change to private providers, not the NHS cost. The NHS cost has already been agreed (not sure for how many years though).
