Quick Summary

President Donald Trump stated during a White House interview that he intends to issue numerous vetoes on legislation he deems harmful to the country during the final two years of his term. Despite the Democrats taking control of both chambers of Congress, the president noted they lack a large enough majority to override his vetoes but suggested a potential deal could be reached on healthcare and drug prices. He highlighted his "Most Favored Nation" agreements with 26 pharmaceutical companies, which cover approximately 80% of commonly dispensed medications and are expected to save taxpayers $600 billion.
