By Steve Holland, Michael Erman and Patrick Wingrove WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump signed a wide-reaching executive order on Monday directing drugmakers to lower the prices of their medicines to align with what other countries pay that analysts and legal experts said would be difficult to implement.
The order is based on a "most favored nation" pricing model, which is similar to a policy Trump pushed in his first administration.
The U.S. and China agreed to lower tariffs for 90 days. The details: U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods will fall to 30 percent from 145 percent.
