On March 8, President Trump met with Congressman Elijah Cummings (D-MD) in the Oval
Office to discuss rising prescription drug prices. This meeting was a
result of a January telephone
conversation, during which Congressman Cummings said that he and the
President, “had more in common than differences.” President Trump
expressed his desire to work with Congressman Cummings in a bipartisan
fashion to ensure prescription drug prices are more
affordable for all Americans, especially those who need lifesaving
prescription medications. Reforming the Food and Drug Administration and
reducing the regulatory burdens on drug manufacturers so as to enhance
competition will help accomplish those goals.
President Trump also offered his condolences to Congressman Cummings
and his longtime staffer, Katie Malone, who lost six of her children in
January in a tragic house fire.
