Trump has an order to reduce drug prices, but it’s unclear how it would work
US drug prices have been priced “too hard to please” and have gone the next level, said Jolley, a consulting firm. This comes after US President Donald Trump signed an executive order asking drugmakers to bring down the prices Americans pay for prescriptions. If drugmakers don’t do it voluntarily, the administration is threatening to directly tie drug prices paid by government programs to those paid in other countries.
It’s likely to be taken to court by the fossil fuel firms
On the first day of his administration, US President Donald Trump on Monday signed an executive order which directs federal agencies to ensure “a sufficient amount of energy supplies” is available. The order also directed officials to work towards “eliminating all fossil fuel and coal-fired power plants within the next five years”. This comes amid rising demand for electricity, according to reports.
