  • Trump Invests Up to $2.4M in Pharma Stocks Linked to US Drug Price Deals
    May 21, 2026, 9:19 AM EDT. In Q1 2026, US President Donald Trump invested between $925,000 and $2.56 million in nine pharmaceutical companies involved in drug price agreements under his administration's Most Favored Nation (MFN) policy. This strategy aims to align US drug prices with the lowest international rates. Key investments included Eli Lilly ($680,000), Johnson & Johnson ($480,000), and Bristol Myers Squibb ($465,000). These companies signed deals to lower medicine costs after Trump's 2025 letter demanding price cuts. Legal experts warn that his stock purchases in firms impacted by his policies could erode public trust in government decisions. Transactions were managed by external advisors, highlighting ongoing concerns about potential conflicts of interest.
