    President Trump unveiled a deal with Pfizer to reduce prices on some medications purchased by Medicaid and introduced "TrumpRx," a federal website designed to point consumers to buying drugs directly from manufacturers [nytimes.com#1]. As part of the arrangement, Pfizer received a three-year exemption from tariffs, according to reporting by Le Monde [lemonde.fr#1]. Reactions vary: some see potential savings for patients, while others argue the site mainly funnels shoppers to drug companies without tackling overall industry pricing [nypost.com#1][prospect.org#1].

    Highlights:

    • Medicaid discounts: Pfizer will lower prices on some medications available under Medicaid as part of the agreement [nytimes.com#1][lemonde.fr#1].
    • Tariff exemption: In exchange, Pfizer was granted a three-year exemption from tariffs, Le Monde reported [lemonde.fr#1].
    • How TrumpRx works: The new government website directs consumers to buy drugs directly from manufacturers rather than acting as a pharmacy itself [nytimes.com#1][prospect.org#1].
    • Price context: U.S. prescription drug prices average 2.78 times those in 33 other high‑income countries, per a 2024 RAND report cited by the New York Post [nypost.com#1].
    • Skeptic concerns: Critics argue the site mainly refers patients to drug companies and doesn’t address high industry profits [prospect.org#1].

    Perspectives:

    • White House: The administration says the deal aims to lower Medicaid costs and help consumers find direct-from-manufacturer options via TrumpRx. (The New York Times)
    • Pfizer: The company agreed to reduce prices on some drugs available under Medicaid as part of an arrangement that includes a three-year tariff exemption. (Le Monde)
    • The American Prospect: The outlet argues TrumpRx is a referral hub to drug companies that leaves high profits intact. (The American Prospect)
    • RAND Corporation (via New York Post): Research cited by the New York Post finds U.S. prescription prices far exceed those in peer nations, underscoring pressure for affordability. (New York Post)
