Trump Claims He Coerced Macron on Drug Prices Using Tariff Threats

US President Donald Trump recounted an alleged conversation with French President Emmanuel Macron, claiming he pressured France to increase its prescription drug prices by threatening a 25% tariff on all French imports. Trump stated that Macron initially resisted but ultimately agreed, reportedly asking Trump not to inform the French public. Trump asserted this tactic, part of his 'Most Favoured Nation' policy, led other countries to quickly agree to similar drug price hikes. Neither Macron nor the French government has officially responded to Trump's remarks.
