President Trump signed a paper. It said drug companies must make medicine cheaper in 30 days. If not, the government will pay less for their medicine.

A new plan says the health leader, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., must get good prices for medicine next month. If he cannot, he must make a rule. This rule will make the U.S. pay less for medicine, like other countries.

Trump said: "We will all pay the same price. We will pay the same as people in Europe."

We don't know if the president's order will change things for many Americans with health insurance.

Trump said he would make medicine cheaper.

Drug companies said the plan was not good for people in the USA. They said it could stop them from making new medicines.

Bringing prices from other countries here is not good for people in America. It means fewer new medicines and puts jobs at risk.

Trump wanted to pay less for some medicines for sick people.

A court stopped the rule. Drug companies said other countries would decide how much medicine costs in the U.S.

On Monday, Trump said other countries made medicine cost a lot for people in America.

But he said he would check the companies and let other countries sell medicine in the U.S.

Trump said, "Drug companies make a lot of money from America. This is not good."

Trump said his plan could save a lot of money.

But on Monday, the White House did not say how much money they can save.

Top people in the health department will meet with drug companies. They will talk about new, lower prices for medicine in the next month. The prices will be like prices in other countries. This was said on Monday.

Drug prices will not go down fast for Americans. Rachel Sachs said this.

Sachs said: "The plan is to ask companies to lower prices. We don't know the exact price. If they don't lower prices, the government will do other things later. This might make medicine prices lower in the future, maybe after a long time."

The government can change drug prices for older and poor people, but not much. A new law lets the government ask for lower prices on some drugs from 2026. Before, the government paid what companies asked. Drug companies did not like the new law.

It is hard for the agency to change the price Americans pay for medicine.

In the U.S., medicine costs a lot. In other rich countries, it costs less. This is a problem, but the government cannot fix it.

Trump said drug companies charged too much money.

Before the news, Trump was angry at companies that make medicine. He said they told people that making new medicine was expensive. He also said only people in America paid for this, and it was not fair.

He said drug companies give money to politicians. He said this money helps them, but not him or his party.

He wrote, "We will do the right thing."

Some medicine companies did well on the stock market on Monday.
