 U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday said he expects to see a tremendous decrease in drug prices even as drugmakers have taken steps to raise the prices of their medicines starting this month.

Trump made the comments during a meeting of his Cabinet at the White House that included U.S. Health Secretary Alex Azar.

According to documents seen by Reuters, nearly 30 pharmaceutical companies have taken steps to end their self-declared halt to price increases this year.
