France rejects Trump’s claim he pressured Macron to raise drug prices, calling it false.

France has dismissed President Donald Trump’s claim that he pressured President Emmanuel Macron to raise drug prices, calling it "fake news." The French presidency stated that medicine prices are regulated by the social security system and have remained stable, emphasizing that Macron does not set drug prices. The rebuttal came after Trump alleged during a Davos speech that he threatened France with tariffs unless it complied. The exchange reflects growing tensions between the two NATO allies, with Macron opposing what he calls U.S. bullying and urging EU trade measures in response. France has also ramped up efforts to counter misinformation through its @frenchresponse account.
