The Trump administration has put in motion its plan to secure lower prescription drug costs for Americans. This week, the Trump administration took its first steps to implement what’s called "most-favored-nation" pricing.

President Donald Trump announced Sunday that he plans to resurrect a controversial policy from his first term that aims to reduce drug costs by basing payments for certain medicines on their prices in other countries.

The executive order directs Trump's administration to take actions against "discriminatory" policies in foreign countries that suppress drug prices.
