– “The days of global freeriding at America’s expense are over,” President Trump tweeted on Sunday, adding that an executive order he has signed will “ensure that our Country gets the same low price Big Pharma gives to other countries.” In a second tweet, Trump said he had also “just ended all rebates to middlemen, further reducing prices.” Trump’s executive order will link drug prices to those of other countries, reports Reuters, which notes that the president’s previous efforts to bring down drug prices have failed.
