Trump probably does not know how much USA drugmakers are depending on China for the raw materials. There are reports that some drugs made China and using USA drugmakers label are sold at exorbitant prices in the USA that costs just a fraction of the price in China. Which is why healthcare cost in China is so cheap. Cheap but not necessarily inferior.
According to Kevin Wamsley, some drugs made in USA cannot work without input of some ingredients from China. China should stop exporting those ingredients right away, not to help some big name drugmakers make tons of money ripping off sick USA citizens.
Trump is fond of telling everyone that China is ripping off the USA. It is in fact the other way round, with USA ripping off Chinese manufacturers making luxury brands for them at cheap prices, for those items to be sold at exorbitant profits. Examples are iPhones, luxury handbags and Rolex watches.
Using fiat money printed out of thin air in exchange for products made with sweat and hard labor is a much more real semblance of ripping off everybody else.

USA rips off everyone, not just China. As Putin used to say, what the USA accused others of doing, they have done it before.
