  • The US President Donald Trump’s new executive order aims to lower drug costs by 30% to 80% for Americans.
  • The order also proposed that the US be given Most Favoured Nation (MFN) status.
  • It means the drug companies would be asked to match the lowest price for a drug abroad when selling to US consumers.
  • The MFN policy primarily targets Medicare (a federal health insurance program) drugs classified as Part B.
  • Usually, the prescription drugs were on average two to four times more expensive in the US than Australia, Canada and France.
