Trump says friend gets cheaper Ozempic in UK but still looks awful
Donald Trump claimed a friend of his has bought Ozempic cheaper in the UK than the US, but still does not look good. The US president made the bizarre statement during a speech on Wednesday (2 September). Mr Trump claimed his Wall Street friend paid $86 in the UK for the weight loss injection, compared to paying around $1,300 in New York for the same medication. He said: “He was taking some fat drugs. I said, ‘Are you taking this stuff? It’s not working. You look like ****.’.”
