On July 31, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump sent letters to the chief executives of 17 major pharmaceutical companies, urging immediate action to lower the cost of prescription drugs for Americans.
This move signals renewed political pressure on drug pricing, a significant and ongoing concern for the pharmaceutical industry. Such pressure can lead to policy changes that impact revenue and profitability for companies like Merck.
The White House's direct engagement with pharma CEOs underscores the administration's focus on healthcare costs. This development creates uncertainty for Merck and its peers regarding future pricing strategies and market access in the U.S.
