United States President Donald Trump has blamed Democrats for the persistently high prices of prescription drugs in the country. During an interview, Trump stated that Democrats 'fought very hard to keep the prices of drugs very, very high,' accusing them of resisting necessary reforms.

'They really are to blame for this, because they should've done something about it,' Trump said, highlighting inaction over the past four years. He criticized previous leadership as 'stupid people' who failed to address skyrocketing drug costs, resulting in Americans paying up to ten times more for the same medication.

Trump emphasized that the situation reached a tipping point, prompting his administration to intervene. 'It got to a point where I said, we're not going to do this anymore,' he remarked. He further pointed to the pharmaceutical industry's significant influence, calling it 'probably the most powerful' sector, and accused Democrats of enabling their dominance.

'They knew what they were doing,' Trump stressed, asserting that Democrats deliberately made it 'impossible' to reduce drug prices. He framed his efforts as a direct challenge to entrenched industry power and political obstruction.

Trump's comments reflect his administration's broader strategy to tackle healthcare costs and position drug pricing reform as a key policy priority. The remarks also underscore ongoing partisan clashes over responsibility for America's high medication expenses.

As drug pricing remains a critical issue for voters, the debate over accountability and solutions is expected to intensify in the lead-up to future legislative and electoral battles.
