President Donald Trump said Pfizer Inc. should be “ashamed” for raising the prices of its pharmaceutical products, briefly rattling shares of the U.S. drug giant on Monday.
“Pfizer & others should be ashamed that they have raised drug prices for no reason,” Trump said in a tweet. “They are merely taking advantage of the poor & others unable to defend themselves, while at the same time giving bargain basement prices to other countries in Europe & elsewhere. We will respond!”
