WASHINGTON D.C February 6, 2026 – The White House announced a new initiative aimed at reducing prescription drug costs for Americans. President Donald Trump has launched trumprx.gov, an online platform designed to connect patients directly with pharmaceutical companies offering discounted prices on select medications.
According to a report highlighted by the official White House Rapid Response account (@RapidResponse47), local news outlet 6NewsCTX stated: “President Trump launched his new website, selling prescription drugs at a discount. It’s called https://trumprx.gov/ connecting patients directly with drugmakers. We know at least 16 companies have agreed to sell their products at a discount on the site.”
The announcement, shared late on February 6, 2026, quickly gained traction online, with supporters praising the move as a practical step toward lowering healthcare expenses. Several users described it as a significant benefit for those reliant on ongoing prescriptions, likening it to a “huge tax cut” for everyday Americans and highlighting the elimination of intermediaries as a smart, business-oriented approach.
The platform reportedly allows patients to access lower prices through direct agreements between the government portal and participating drug manufacturers. While details on specific medications, eligibility requirements, and exact savings remain emerging, the involvement of at least 16 companies signals an initial rollout with potential for expansion.
The initiative aligns with President Trump’s long-standing emphasis on reducing drug prices, a priority he pursued during his first term through executive actions and transparency requirements for pharmaceutical pricing.
Reactions on social media were mixed. Enthusiastic responses celebrated the program as a win for patients and a demonstration of efficient governance. Critics, however, questioned whether the discounts represent genuine savings compared to existing options like discount cards or warehouse club pharmacies, with some suggesting the portal may overlap with already-available coupon programs.
The White House has positioned TrumpRx as part of a broader America First agenda focused on delivering tangible relief to American families facing high healthcare costs.
Further details on how to access the platform, participating pharmacies, and covered medications are expected to be released via the official site and administration channels in the coming days.
