April 2025: TRUMP PRESIDENCY Trump Signs Order To Help States Import Low-Cost Medications

Trump Signs Order To Help States Import Low-Cost Medications
"President Donald Trump signed an executive order that directs a wide range of actions to lower the cost of prescription medications, including through the importation of prescription drugs from Canada by the states.

States have been authorized since 2020 to import certain drugs from Canada—where they are often available at a lower price—under section 804 of the Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act. However, approval from the Food and Drug Administration is required, and that process is complex.
Trump’s order instructs the Food and Drug Administration to improve the process and encourages states to apply for authorization to import medications.
An analysis by health research group KFF found that per-capita spending on prescriptions was 42 percent higher in the United States than in Canada."
