During a speech in Palm Beach, Donald Trump claimed his “most favored nation” policy delivered the largest prescription drug price reductions in American history. Trump described a private call with Emmanuel Macron where he says he threatened massive tariffs on French wine and champagne unless European nations adjusted pricing policies.
Trump also argued that Americans have been paying dramatically more for the exact same medications sold overseas and said his administration pressured foreign leaders to change course.
The remarks sparked debate online over whether these policies truly lowered drug costs or if the claims are exaggerated.
