Trump's EO allows people to import drugs from the EU where the drugs are being sold at much cheaper prices.

https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/executive-order-increasing-drug-importation-lower-prices-american-patients/

Section 1. Purpose. Americans spend more per capita on pharmaceutical drugs than residents of any other developed country. Americans often pay more for the exact same drugs, even when they are produced and shipped from the exact same facilities. One way to minimize international disparities in price is to increase the trade of prescription drugs between nations with lower prices and those with persistently higher ones.

I've stopped reading the news and have been going straight to the primary sources. It's amazing that 99.999% of the news reports do not give us the actual story (the EO) but rather their spin.
