US President Donald Trump announced on Sunday that "the price of medicine in America will be the lowest in the world."

The US president revealed his intention to "reduce drug prices almost immediately in America by between 30% and 80%."

Several hours before making these statements, Trump indicated that he would soon announce "the most important and impactful news ever."

Trump's announcement came in a post on the "Truth Social" platform, where the US president wrote: "For many years, the world has wondered why the prices of prescribed medications and pharmaceuticals in the United States are so much higher compared to any other country, sometimes being 5 to 10 times more expensive than the same drug manufactured in the same laboratory or factory, and by the same company?"

Trump continued: "It has always been difficult to explain that, and it has been extremely embarrassing, because in reality, there has been no correct answer. Pharmaceutical companies have claimed for years that it’s due to research and development costs, and all these costs have been and will continue to be without any reason, borne by the 'suckers' in America, alone. Campaign contributions can work wonders, but not with me, and not with the Republican Party. We will do what is right, which is something Democrats have struggled for many years for."
