All eyes were on that post: The long-awaited statement from Trump has finally arrived

US President Donald Trump announced that he will sign one of the most important presidential executive orders in the country's history tomorrow.

In a statement made on his own Truth social media platform, Trump said that the world has long been "wondering why prescription drugs and pharmaceutical products are so much more expensive in the US compared to every other country," and added, "Sometimes, the same drug, produced by the same company in the same laboratory or facility, could have a price five to ten times higher. This situation was always difficult to explain and quite embarrassing. Because, in fact, there was no correct or justifiable explanation for it." Stating that pharmaceutical companies have for years claimed that this situation "stemmed from Research and Development (R&D) costs," Trump said, "And they stated that these costs were and would be covered by America, the ‘suckers,’ for no reason at all."

Implying that campaign donations, which generally influence politicians, do not affect his decisions, Trump said, "Campaign donations can work wonders, but not with me and the Republican Party. We will do what is right. Something that the Democrats have been fighting for for years."

WILL DECREASE BY 30 TO 80 PERCENT

Announcing that he will sign one of the most important presidential executive orders in the country's history at the White House tomorrow at 09:00, Trump said, "Prescription drug and pharmaceutical prices will be reduced by 30 to 80 percent almost immediately. Prices will rise globally, thus ensuring equality and bringing justice to America for the first time in many years." Stating that the US will implement a "most-favored-nation" policy where it will pay the same prices for drugs as the country that pays the lowest price in the world, Trump said, "Our country will finally be treated fairly, and our citizens' healthcare expenses will be reduced to levels never before imagined. In addition, the US will save trillions of dollars."

Earlier in the day, in a statement on his Truth social media platform, Trump had said, "My next post will be one of the most important and impactful ones I have ever published." Trump's announcement had sparked curiosity among the public.
