President Trump gave an announcement on Tuesday from the White House as his deadline for drugmakers to lower prices arrives.

“President Trump is doing more to lower healthcare costs than anyone else in Washington, D.C. While Democrats are threatening to shut down the federal government to subsidize health care for illegal aliens, President Trump is leveraging the power of the federal government to drastically cut drug prices for everyday Americans,” White House spokesperson Kush Desai told The Hill in a statement ahead of the comments.

Desai added, “Democrats talked the talk for decades about drug prices, but only President Trump is actually walking the walk.”

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt also teased TrumpRx in a post on Truth Social — a “direct-to-consumer website for Americans to buy drugs.”

The president’s remarks also came as the government faces a looming shutdown — and as Democrats stand their ground on wanting the GOP to address Affordable Care Act subsidies and Medicaid cuts — and after his speech alongside Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to a large gathering of military leaders.
