Joe Biden joked he would fly citizens to Moscow as he hit out at the high cost of prescriptions in the US during his State of the Union speech. US President believes that prescription drugs are being sold at more affordable prices in several countries, such as Russia, Germany, and Canada, compared to the United States.

Mr Biden said: “I’m going to get in trouble for saying that, but anyone who wants to get in Air Force One with me and fly to Toronto, Berlin, Moscow, excuse me, well even Moscow probably. Bring your prescription with you and I promise you I’ll get it for you for 40 percent of the cost you’re paying now. Same company. Same drug. Same price.”
