In what could be a major escalation of U.S. pressure on Mexico, the Trump administration has begun to impose travel restrictions and other sanctions on prominent Mexican politicians whom it believes are linked to drug corruption, U.S. officials said.

How good or bad #environment is massively affects #drug use
so if that does not improve #drug addicts will most likely just switch to other #drugs
Reuters spoke to 7 #biotech executives, investors, & consultants who said that the staff departures & #policy changes at the #FDA had prompted some firms to consider launching trials in other international markets - such as the #EU & #Australia - & engaging with regulators in those regions earlier in the #drug development process.
The #US #FDA was seen as the global gold standard for #drug #regulation & companies typically seek American approval first because it provides access to the world's most lucrative drug market.
But mass #layoffs, #leadership exits & the restructuring of the FDA under #Trump are prompting some smaller #biotech firms to rethink traditional pathways for bringing new #medicines to market.

One in the good column for DT? Let's see if the drug companies talk him out of it...
President Trump signed an executive order Monday meant to slash Americans’ #pharmaceutical #costs by up to 90% by tying the price paid by government programs like #Medicare to the rates #drug #companies charge #overseas customers.

Both #Trump & #RFKJr, the #HHS secretary, have been falsely claiming that #Democrats have done nothing about high #drug #prices. Democrats passed legislation to allow #Congress to negotiate on the price of some drugs in #Medicare during the #Biden administration.
In fact TV Dr Oz is now pointing to the #IRA [Inflation Reduction Act] which was the Biden bill.
In his first term, #Trump was focused on ensuring that Americans got the lowest #drug #prices. Now, he seems much more concerned about making sure Europeans pay more.
Trump has still not described any specific legal mechanism for lowering #DrugPrices.
Trump claims prices could come down somewhere between 59% & 90%
#Trump, who is making a #prescription #drug announcement, is now riffing about “the fat drug,” meaning Ozempic or something comparable, that he said a “seriously overweight” & “wealthy” friend told him he was paying way too much for in the United States compared to the price in London.
Now he’s claiming that cutting drug prices will pay for the #GoldenDome w/money left over. Of course he goes off on a tangent claiming Biden made the US unsafe so the golden dome is necessary.
"I wanted to know how this #drug came to cost so much — and why the price keeps going up. The price of Revlimid has been hiked 26 times since it launched. Some of what happened was reported at the time. But no one has pieced together the full account of what the drugmaker Celgene did, how federal regulators failed to rein it in and what the story reveals about unrestrained drug pricing in #America."

The women & girl, who are not named in the indictments, represent only a fraction of the dozens of women federal prosecutors say the brothers used their #wealth & status to lure, #drug & #SexuallyAssault & #rape going back 2 decades to their high school years.
The 3 men pleaded not guilty to the initial charges & are expected to soon be taken back into Manhattan federal court to be arraigned on the new charges.
