On Tuesday, US President Donald Trump unveiled plans during a news conference to lower drug prices across the country. The plan includes the development of a 'TrumpRx' direct-to-consumer website for Americans to purchase medicines at discounted prices. Trump also closed a deal with Pfizer to cut prices for many of its offerings.
'The US is done subsidising the health care of the rest of the world,' Trump had stated. 'By taking this bold step, we're ending the era of global price gouging at the expense of American families.'
