Donald Trump mocked Emmanuel Macron during a speech: "Whatever you want, Donald, please. Just don't tell the public. Please, Donald, I implore you."

American President Donald Trump stated that he had a conversation with his French counterpart, Emmanuel Macron, in which he insisted that France should raise the prices of prescription medications. Trump argued that the United States pays 14 times more for medications than other countries and that Washington has pressured allies to adjust prices. He mimicked Macron's refusals, stating that he would have preferred not to publicly disclose these demands. Trump emphasized that the U.S. subsidizes lower prices in Europe and that all countries have had similar reactions to American pressures. This discussion was part of his criticisms of global drug pricing practices.
