President Donald Trump said he will sign an executive order Monday morning to introduce "most favored nation" pricing model to lower U.S. prescription drug costs.

"I am pleased to announce that Tomorrow morning, in the White House, at 9:00 A.M., I will be signing one of the most consequential Executive Orders in our Country's history. Prescription Drug and Pharmaceutical prices will be REDUCED, almost immediately, by 30% to 80%," Trump said in a post on Truth Social Sunday.

The policy ties the amount the government pays for some medications to prices paid abroad. In other words, the U.S. would pay no more than the lowest prices paid by other wealthy countries.

"They will rise throughout the World in order to equalize and, for the first time in many years, bring FAIRNESS TO AMERICA! I will be instituting a MOST FAVORED NATION'S POLICY whereby the United States will pay the same price as the Nation that pays the lowest price anywhere in the World," Trump said.
