For example, President Trump has signed multiple executive orders addressing prescription drug pricing and access, including: on April 15, 2025, outlining several actions the Secretary of HHS must take to optimize healthcare regulations that will provide access to prescription drugs at lower costs; on May 5, 2025, aiming to promote domestic production of critical medicines; and on May 12, 2025, aiming to establish a most favored nation (“MFN”) drug pricing policy that would tie US drug prices to the prices paid for drugs in other countries. Since the May 12, 2025 MFN executive order, the Trump administration has continued to exert pressure on drug manufacturers to implement MFN pricing.
