Can the U.S. beat Canada's drug prices? 

President Trump said Friday that he planned to issue an executive order that would ensure U.S. costs for prescription drugs are capped at the lowest price paid by either a manufacturer or a developed country.
“Why should other nations — like Canada — but why should other nations pay much less than us?” Trump asked. “We’re working on a favored nations law where we pay whatever the lowest nation’s price is.”
It's not entirely clear whether Trump was referring to existing pricing proposals — including an international plan index — or something new entirely.
