I bet even the generic drugs are sold for more in the US than other countries.
If drug makers increase their global prices a bit so they can sell higher in the US it will cause a massive affordability crisis in poor countries. The media will be all over that and they will blame it on Trump.
You describe a market with price controls in foreign which will be removed.
There is already a shortage there because drug makers limit loss making sales. Increasing those prices increase supply but also price. Nobody talks about the existing shortage.
An actual market discovered Price is good, and this may be one step closer to that.
