WASHINGTON - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday that TrumpRx.gov, a government-backed website offering discounted prescription drugs under his administration's pricing deal, will now carry generic drugs.

"I'm thrilled to announce that we're increasing the number of drugs available on TrumpRx by nearly seven times, adding over 600 affordable generics to the website," Trump said at a White House event.
