President Donald Trump has criticized drug companies, and Pfizer by name, for recently increasing the prices of more than 100 drugs.

“Pfizer & others should be ashamed that they have raised drug prices for no reason. They are merely taking advantage of the poor & others unable to defend themselves, while at the same time giving bargain basement prices to other countries in Europe & elsewhere. We will respond!” Trump stated in a Monday tweet.
