WASHINGTON — The White House announced an expansion of its prescription drug discount platform, TrumpRx, on Monday, adding more than 600 generic drugs to the website.

The expansion comes via a partnership with entrepreneur Mark Cuban’s Cost Plus Drug Company, as well as Amazon Pharmacy and GoodRx, which both also provide drug savings or low-cost prescription medicines.

“By incorporating this massive catalog of low-cost generics at TrumpRx.Gov, consumers will now have one source to ensure that they’re getting the lowest possible cost on their prescriptions,” President Trump said Monday at a White House event. “They have something that they’ve never had before.”
