Trump has also said he is working with multiple other drugmakers to bring the cost down for American citizens.
Per CNN:
President Donald Trump is expected on Friday to announce a deal with drugmaker AstraZeneca in his latest effort to lower drug costs through so-called “Most Favored Nation” pricing, according to two people familiar with the matter.
The move comes after the president unveiled last week an agreement with Pfizer to reduce prices on many of its drugs, as Trump demanded in a July letter to pharmaceutical company CEOs.
The AstraZeneca arrangement is expected to be similar, the two sources said.
Administration officials said last week more deals would be released soon. The details of Friday’s announcement were first reported by CBS News on X and by MSNBC.
The President is scheduled to make his announcement at 5 pm ET.
