Trump signs his first drug pricing bill — but whiffs on the details

WASHINGTON — President Trump finally signed a bill that he says will lower drug prices. But don’t ask him to explain how.

Flanked by members of Congress and pharmacists from around the country, Trump on Wednesday signed two bills banning so-called gag clauses, which prevent pharmacists from informing customers when it’s cheaper to buy a drug without insurance. Neither will directly lower prices; the changes will only affect what some people pay at the pharmacy counter.
