11 February 2020 - U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said on Tuesday he did not know whether law makers would be able to resolve divisions over lowering prescription drug prices, a priority raised by President Donald Trump in his State of the Union address last week.

McConnell did not commit to bringing to the Senate floor an existing bipartisan bill on lowering drug prices, by Republican Senator Chuck Grassley and Democratic Senator Ron Wyden. McConnell said there were "internal divisions" on drug pricing within his own Republican party as well as differences between Republicans and Democrats.

"I think everybody agrees that prescription drug prices are too high, the dilemma is how do you get there (to reducing them), and we have divisions within the Republican party on that, and with the Democrats on that," McConnell told reporters.
