Segment Topic:
- Trump to sign E/O at 9:00 ET to address prescription drug pricing.
- He said this would be achieved by 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.”
- The "most favored nation" (MFN) trade status, in the context of prescription drugs, refers to a policy where the United States would pay no more for a drug than the lowest price paid by other developed countries in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). This policy, which was previously proposed by President Trump, aims to lower drug costs for Americans by leveraging the lower prices negotiated by other nations.
- The benefits of the move will primarily apply to those on Medicare Part B, a federal insurance plan that offers coverage at a monthly premium. The Most Favored Nation Drug Policy requires drug makers to offer Medicare Part B the lowest price among certain peer nations for a slate of high-cost prescription medications.
- Trump was critical of the pharmaceutical industry in the announcement, saying that companies had forced Americans to bear the brunt of research and development costs for years. (Epoch Times)
- We all feel like we are bing ripped off, however is this in the end government overreach?
- He said this would be achieved by 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.”

- Qatar has offered Trump the $400 million super luxury Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet for him to use as Air Force One after infuriating and costly delays to an order he placed with Boeing for two new aircrafts during his first term in 2018.
- Trump will reportedly keep the plane for his personal use after leaving the White House in a deal which would see ownership transferred to his presidential library foundation at the end of his term.
