Pharmaceutical stocks plummeted on Tuesday after Donald Trump plunged back into the drug pricing debacle after the US President tweeted a pledge to minimize the costs of medicinal products for US citizens. As stated in a tweet sent at 9:00 A.M., New York Time, Trump stated that his administration is currently working on a system which will enhance competition in the pharmaceutical industry. Analysts are saying that it is highly curious that Trump’s tweet comes immediately after the House healthcare reform bill, which is indicative of the administration’s efforts on drug and pharmaceutical pricing.
