[Trump's] proposal would likely only impact certain drugs covered by Medicare and given in an office — think infusions that treat cancer, and other injectables. But it could potentially bring significant savings to the government.

Medicare provides health insurance for roughly 70 million older Americans. Complaints about U.S. drug prices being notoriously high, even when compared with other large and wealthy countries, have long drawn the ire of both parties, but a lasting fix has never cleared Congress.

Under the planned order, the federal government would tie what it pays pharmaceutical companies for those drugs to the price paid by a group of other, economically advanced countries — the so-called "most favored nation" approach.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick had teased this announcement late last month in a Newsmax exclusive.

"The United States of America pays for drugs, and the rest of the world free rides," Lutnick told Rob Schmitt Tonight in an exclusive sit-down. "You know how you can understand the rest of the world?

"We pay for the drug, and they pay the copay.

"They're paying like the $10, $20, $30."

The proposal will face fierce opposition from the pharmaceutical industry.

It was a rule Trump tried to adopt during his first term, but could never get through. He signed a similar executive order in the final weeks of his presidency, but a court order later blocked the rule from going into effect under the Biden administration.

A report by the Trump administration during its first term found that the U.S. spends twice as much as some other countries in covering those drugs. Medicare Part B drug spending topped $33 billion in 2021.

"Zelensky does not want to meet alone with Mr. Putin," Maloof explained. "And I think that if he decides to go ahead and negotiate something, and first of all, I question whether he'll be ALLOWED to do that because of internal politics... I think the Azov* group and his military will rebel,"

He did not hold back in his criticism: "They [Western Europe] just want to continue a conflict with Russia that, frankly, particularly the UK, that has been going on for almost 250 years. Their antagonism toward Russia is historic."
