White House Touts Tax Cuts, Trade and Drug Pricing Results in South Carolina Visit
The White House said President Donald J. Trump traveled to South Carolina on August 21, 2026, to highlight what it described as results of his agenda in the state, including tax cuts for working families, border security, lower crime and increased private investment [1]. In a separate release, the administration pointed to Ford Motor Company's announcement that it will move Lincoln production to the United States and phase out imports from China, with CEO Jim Farley quoted as saying the decision followed the administration's policy being set [2]. The White House also stated that new data showed the largest annual decline in prescription drug prices in more than 60 years, the steepest since 1963, attributing it to Most Favored Nation pricing policies covering 17 large drugmakers and roughly 86% of the branded drug market [3].
