[Breitbart] New York (AFP) ‐ President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday attacked the pharmaceutical industry for high drug prices and for manufacturing overseas, saying he will create new procedures for bidding on drugs.The industry is "getting away with murder," Trump said in his first press conference since he was elected, sending pharma stocks plunging.
"Pharma. Pharma has a lot of lobbies, a lot of lobbyists, a lot of power," he said, making the industry the latest target of his frequent attacks on business since the November election which have included the auto and aerospace industries.
Trump said pharmaceutical companies will be coming back to the United States from overseas.
"Our drug industry has been disastrous. They’re leaving left and right. They supply our drugs but they don’t make them here, to a large extent," Trump said.
