Trump Mocks Macron, Claims Tariff Threats Forced Drug Price Hikes Abroad

• Donald Trump mocked French President Emmanuel Macron, claiming he forced France and other nations to raise prescription drug prices.
• Trump recounted threatening punitive trade tariffs to achieve this, preventing Americans from subsidizing foreign healthcare costs.
• He mimicked Macron, who allegedly pleaded for discretion after agreeing to increase drug prices by "200 per cent or whatever."
• Trump contrasted his approach with former President Joe Biden, asserting Biden couldn't achieve such results.
• AFP noted no official confirmation from France regarding any increase in prescription drug prices despite Trump's repeated claims.

Why It Matters: Trump claims tariff threats forced foreign drug price hikes, but official confirmation is lacking.
