TrumpRx (often stylized as TrumpRx.gov) is a federal government initiative launched by the Trump administration in late 2025 aimed at reducing prescription drug costs for Americans. It’s essentially a centralized online portal that connects patients directly to pharmaceutical manufacturers’ websites, allowing cash-paying consumers to buy select medications at steeply discounted prices negotiated by the government—bypassing traditional insurance, pharmacies, and pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) to cut out middlemen and increase price transparency.

This builds on Trump’s first-term efforts to lower drug prices (e.g., via executive orders) and uses trade tactics like tariffs threats to pressure manufacturers. Critics call it a “pretend solution” that could disrupt innovation or face legal hurdles (a similar 2020 order was blocked in court), while supporters praise it for finally tackling U.S. patients subsidizing global drug development.
