Trump stopped a program that had been in the works and was intended to give Medicare recipients access to more than 100 generic drugs for $2 a month, according to another executive order signed on Trump's first day in his new term.

The U.S. government said on Wednesday it will aim for "greater transparency" in Medicare drug price negotiations under President Donald Trump's administration following criticism from the pharmaceutical industry for the Biden-era law.

A short statement from CMS said the agency will consider ways to make Medicare price negotiations, begun under Biden, more transparent.
