Trump claims world’s lowest drug prices. TrumpRx discounts a ‘mixed bag,’ report shows.

With the Nov. 3 midterms approaching, President Donald Trump keeps telling voters that Americans now pay the lowest drug prices anywhere. A new analysis from the nonpartisan research group KFF finds the reality is uneven. Researchers examined 32 brand-name medications offered through the TrumpRx. gov website that have no generic or biosimilar alternative, and set their prices against those in 11 other wealthy countries as of Aug. 26. Seventeen sold below the foreign average and 15 above it. Judged by Trump's own standard, only five were cheapest anywhere, while 13 were the most expensive, according to NBC News.

Ozempic runs $349 monthly on the site, against a next-highest foreign price of $190. Enbrel, at $3,354, is over five times the $641 average abroad. On the other side, a 56-capsule supply of Rydapt is $2,909, compared with $5,901 in France, the cheapest of the other countries. KFF's Juliette Cubanski called the picture "a mixed bag."

The site, launched in February, now lists more than 800 brand-name and generic drugs. The White House ties the prices to voluntary deals with manufacturers in exchange for tariff relief, though the terms are undisclosed. Federal data show prescription prices down 3.
