Trump, who has previously said that pharmaceutical companies are "getting away with murder," seemed to temper his statements, according to media reports from the White House.
Here's what went down:
- Trump reiterated his interest in bringing drug prices down in the US.
- Trump said medical products need to be made in the US, Reuters is reporting.
- He also made comments about the FDA, saying he intends to streamline the drug approval process.
The Nasdaq biotechnology index, which has fallen for most of January, was down about 0.7% as of 9:52 a.m. in New York.
