Pharmaceutical firms are struggling to respond to the fresh ultimatum of US President Donald Trump, which requires “mandatory commitments” to reduce drug prices. On Thursday, the White House stated that President Trump sent letters to 17 major pharmaceutical firms, which set the steps they must take to reduce the price of US prescription drugs to the “most committed nation” (MFN) by September 29. They were told that if they “refuse to activate”, the government would deploy each tool in their “arsenal to protect US family families from permanent changing drugs that practice drugs.” Companies receiving letters were Abbvie, Amgen, Astrazeneca, Boehringer Ingelheim, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Eli Lilly, Emd Serono, Roche’s, daughter Genentech, Gilead, GSK, Johnson & Johnson, Merck, Navartis, Navartis, Navartis, Navartis, Navartis Novo Nordisk, Pfizer, Regeneron and Sanofi.

Last week, he announced plans to invest $ 50 billion in the US, following many other pharmaceutical firms. “There are problems around prices.
