U.S. President Donald Trump recounted an anecdote where he claims to have pressured French President Emmanuel Macron into agreeing to raise France's prescription drug prices by threatening steep tariffs on French imports. Trump imitated Macron, stating the French leader pleaded for a deal to avoid tariffs, which Trump claimed would have been significantly more costly. Trump asserted that this tactic, part of his 'Most Favoured Nation' policy, led France to increase drug prices while U.S. prices decreased. Neither Macron nor the French government has officially responded to Trump's remarks.
