In addition to lowering drug costs, the administration said the AstraZeneca agreement will strengthen domestic supply chains and reduce reliance on overseas production. The White House said the Virginia facility would serve as a “strategic hub” for the production of advanced pharmaceutical ingredients used in chronic disease treatments.

The president framed the announcement as part of his ongoing effort to ensure that American patients “get the best deal anywhere in the world” on prescription drugs.

“This agreement will bring immediate relief to millions of Americans struggling with the cost of their medications,” Trump said. “It’s another step in putting American patients first.”
