Why Pfizer Stock Just Popped

President Donald Trump signed an executive order in May ordering the government to negotiate new pricing with U.S. drugmakers, such that they charge no more to U.S. customers than they do to patients in other wealthy nations. Step one of the plan that order laid out involves attempting to get drug companies to lower prices voluntarily -- with the implication that step two might involve the government imposing mandatory price cuts.
