President Donald Trump announced Monday that the administration is dramatically expanding the number of medications available through TrumpRx.gov, adding more than 600 generic drugs in what the White House described as a significant step toward lowering prescription costs for Americans.
The president revealed the expansion during remarks at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building on the White House campus, calling it a major advancement in making medications more affordable. “Today I’m thrilled to announce that we’re increasing the number of drugs available on TrumpRx by nearly seven times, adding over 600 affordable generics to the website, working with industry partners,” Trump stated.
Trump emphasized that generic medications often deliver identical therapeutic outcomes to expensive brand-name drugs at a fraction of the cost. “Cost-effective generic drugs are often available at just a tiny fraction of the price of their brand-name equivalents,” he said. “Sometimes they’re better with the same dosage, the same effectiveness, and the same active ingredients.”
The president noted that the expanded platform would offer some of the lowest prescription prices to Americans, in cases even surpassing insurance co-pays and out-of-pocket costs. “With these additions, TrumpRx will feature the best and lowest prices on prescriptions used by tens of millions of Americans,” he added. “We’re going to be lower.”
The White House also demonstrated a new interactive map feature on the website that enables users to compare drug prices at local pharmacies. The presentation was led by Chief Design Officer Joe Gebbia.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. praised Trump’s efforts during the event, arguing that previous administrations had made commitments without achieving results. “President Trump has asked us to make this, our country, the most affordable medication in the world, and he succeeded in doing that,” he said. “I want to say one last thing: President Bush promised to do this, President Clinton promised to do it, President Biden promised to do it, President Obama promised to do it, President Trump actually got it done.”
One of the administration’s key partners is Cost Plus Drugs, co-founded by businessman Mark Cuban, who attended the announcement despite supporting former Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election. Cuban commended the initiative and stressed that lowering drug costs should transcend partisan divides. “Republicans want cheaper drugs, independents want cheaper drugs, Democrats want cheaper drugs, and together I think we’re going to do something special,” he said. Speaking afterward outside the West Wing, he added, “The only thing I care about is can they reduce the stress of the American people. TrumpRx and Cost Plus Drugs working together is one step toward reducing the stress.”
