“You’re going to get your prices either approved, or not approved,” the president said. “But it’s going to be a quick process. It’s not going to take 15 years.”
In a meeting with leading drug makers at the White House today, President Donald Trump said he wanted to make it easier for pharmaceutical companies to win regulatory approval for their products. And he told them to produce their pharmaceuticals in the United States and said that he wanted to control “astronomical” drug prices.
“We have to get the prices down,” Trump said. “We have to get the prices way down.”
Trump then “Talked Smack” to some foreign countries, which he said have been “freeloading” on the United States with price controls that limit what their own citizens can be charged for medications.
Included in the meeting were the CEOs of Merck, Amgen, Eli Lilly, Novartis, Johnson & Johnson, as well as the head of the trade group PhRMA.
