U.S. President Donald Trump has announced the launch of TrumpRx, a government-backed online platform designed to help Americans access prescription medications at reduced prices. The website does not sell drugs directly but serves as an intermediary, guiding users to pharmaceutical companies that offer medicines directly to consumers.

In addition, TrumpRx provides discount coupons that can be used at pharmacies. According to media reports, at the time of launch the platform listed over 40 medications, including widely used weight-loss drugs such as Ozempic and Wegovy.

Speaking at the launch event, President Trump described the initiative as one of the most far-reaching reforms in U.S. healthcare history. He stated that dozens of commonly prescribed drugs are now available to consumers at substantial discounts.

Trump emphasized that the price reductions resulted from his administration’s pressure on pharmaceutical companies. He also reiterated his call for equal pricing of medicines in the United States and abroad, arguing that Americans had long subsidized lower prices in other countries. These developments are being closely observed internationally, including in Turkmenistan, where access to affordable medicines is also a key public concern.

Democrats, however, argue that expanding price negotiations under the Medicare program introduced during Joe Biden’s presidency would yield more sustainable results. Despite recent initiatives, the United States remains one of the most expensive pharmaceutical markets, while Europe and Asia rely on stricter price-control mechanisms.
