Trump: "Everybody said it would be impossible for France to agree to double and triple their drug prices, but they agreed to do it" This is either a lie or a fundamental misunderstanding of what happened. France hasn't agreed to double and triple drug prices. Trump may be confabulating a negotiation he thinks occurred, conflating leverage with actual agreement, or just making things up. The US has been pushing pharmaceutical price deregulation across Europe as part of trade deals, but France and the EU have resisted. When Trump claims victory for something that didn't happen, it's worth asking what he actually did and what he's taking credit for inventing.
