In the United States, the prices of prescription drugs and other drugs will be reduced by 30-80%. This was announced on May 12 by the American leader Donald Trump.

"The prices of prescription drugs and other medicines will be reduced almost immediately by 30-80%. They will rise all over the world to equalize prices and ensure fairness in America for the first time in many years," he said in a message on the TruthSocial social network.

Trump noted that he would sign the relevant decree at the White House on May 12. The American leader also clarified that in this way it helps to reduce the health care costs of US citizens.

The White House actually blamed the Biden administration for the COVID-19 pandemic.

On May 5, Trump signed a decree that completely stops using the federal budget to finance research on potentially dangerous viruses with acquired mutations like COVID-19. A separate paragraph in the document emphasizes the ban on financing foreign research, which "may provoke a new pandemic."
