UNITED STATES – President Donald Trump is demanding lower drug prices, signing an executive order giving pharmaceutical companies 30 days to slash costs or face limits on what the government will pay.

Trump says the U.S. should pay what other countries pay for prescriptions, calling current prices unfair.

The move targets medicare and medicaid spending, but experts warn most Americans won’t see savings right away, and drugmakers say it could hurt innovation.
