Soon, American citizens may be able to buy medicines at cheaper rates through a new website called TrumpRx, named after President Donald Trump himself.
On Tuesday, Trump announced the plan from the Oval Office alongside Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla. He said the federal government is partnering with Pfizer to allow the company to sell some of its drugs directly to consumers at discounted rates. Deals with other major pharmaceutical firms are also expected.
“The United States is done subsidising the health care of the rest of the world,” Trump declared. “By taking this bold step, we’re ending the era of global price gouging at the expense of American families.”
Bourla supported the move, saying, “I think today we are turning the tide, and we are reversing an unfair situation.”
