Administration of Donald J. Trump, 2025

Remarks Prior to Departure for Rocky Mount, North Carolina

December 19, 2025

Hello, everybody.

So we'll be going to Florida for a short while. Mostly work. We have a lot of meetings scheduled.

We're going to talk to the insurance companies and see if we can cut them way, way down.

And if we can't, we just pay directly to the people; they buy their own health care.

And I think very important today was the favored nations, because drug prices are going to be down 400, 500, 600 percent, if you look. We did something that nobody has been able to do.

So have a good flight, if you're joining me. Thank you. Thank you.

NOTE: The President spoke at 7:06 p.m. on the South Lawn at the White House prior to boarding Marine One. The transcript was released by the Office of Communications on December 21.
