Donald Trump’s New Strategy: Affordable Medicine via ‘TrumpRx’ Website

Washington, January 30 (2026): President Donald Trump has taken a major step to provide relief to Americans from expensive drugs. Launching in February 2026, the website TrumpRx.gov will allow U.S. citizens to buy medicines directly from pharmaceutical companies at affordable prices. This move is being seen as a big strategy to gain public support ahead of the midterm elections in November.

What is TrumpRx and How Will It Work?

Direct Purchase: The website will connect patients directly with drug manufacturers, eliminating middlemen costs.
Massive Discounts: The Trump administration has struck deals with over 10 major pharma companies, including Pfizer. Prices are expected to drop by 50% to 85%.
Most Favored Nation (MFN): The model aims to ensure Americans pay the same prices as those charged in other developed countries.

Concerns in Pharma Companies and Medical Stores
Trump’s decision has kept pharma companies and local medical stores awake at night. They fear that if people start buying cheap drugs through the government website, traditional medical store businesses could shut down completely.

Opposition from Democrats
Democratic lawmakers have questioned the legality of this website. Leaders like Elizabeth Warren have expressed concerns that direct purchasing could lead to patients receiving wrong medicines or delays in treatment. However, the Trump administration argues that drugs in America are 51% more expensive, making this step necessary.
