Trump Mocks Macron, Claims Tariff Threat Forced France to Hike Drug Prices

  • Donald Trump asserted he forced France and other nations to raise prescription drug prices by threatening trade tariffs.
  • He mocked French President Emmanuel Macron, imitating his alleged plea to avoid a 25% tariff on French exports like wine.
  • Trump's 'Most Favoured Nation' policy aims to lower US drug prices by linking them to the lowest international rates.
  • He claimed France agreed to raise prices from $10 to $30 per pill, leading to US price drops.
  • Neither Macron nor the French government has officially confirmed any drug price hikes, despite Trump's assertions.

Why It Matters: Trump claims his tariff threats compelled France to hike drug prices, a move unconfirmed by French authorities.
