Trump Promised the ‘World’s Lowest’ Drug Prices. We Checked the Numbers.
18 March 2026 - The TrumpRx website claims to offer the best prices for medications. Here’s where Americans still pay more — and much more.
President Trump and top federal health officials have repeatedly claimed that their new website, TrumpRx, offers Americans the world’s lowest prices on prescription drugs.
“I took prescription drugs, a very big part of health care, from the highest price in the entire world to the lowest,” Mr. Trump said during his State of the Union address last month.
That is not true, according to a review by The New York Times and the German news organizations Süddeutsche Zeitung, NDR and WDR.
