Trump Says Tariffs Helped Reduce Drug Prices: For Decades, Americans Have Been Forced to Pay the Highest Prices in the World for Prescription Drugs

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: “For decades, Americans have been forced to pay the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs by far. Prices that were many, many times what the rest of the world was paying. Because we had a president that didn’t know what they were doing or they weren’t able to get other countries to agree to it. I was able to do that because I use tariffs. I said, if you don’t agree to it, we’re going to put tariffs on your country, and they said we would be honored to do it, sir.”
