– “My Most Favored Nation order will ensure that our Country gets the same low price Big Pharma gives to other countries,” President Trump tweeted on Sunday. “The days of global freeriding at America’s expense are over.” The White House provided a text of the executive order, signed on July 24, to Reuters, though it does not appear to be a newly signed document. Trump previously signed an executive order to tie the prices Medicare pays for drugs to those paid by other countries, but it was delayed as the administration sought to work out a solution with the industry. Three other executive orders designed to reduce drug costs for consumers were signed in July, but experts said they were unlikely to take effect in the near term.
