Robert F. Kennedy Jr. praises President Trump for addressing the discrepancy between US and European drug prices, a promise unfulfilled by previous Democratic leaders due to pharmaceutical industry influence. Kennedy claims there is at least one pharmaceutical lobbyist for every congressman, senator, and Supreme Court member, and the industry spends three times more on lobbying than any other.
Kennedy states that Trump cannot be bought and is standing up to oligarchs, unlike other politicians. He notes that the US, with 4.2% of the world's population, accounts for 75% of pharmaceutical company revenues, spending $11.26 per capita on drugs compared to Britain's $240. Kennedy says Trump is asking European partners to increase their drug payments to fund innovation, suggesting a 20% increase would free up $10 trillion for innovation and improve global health.
