Both companies agreed to voluntarily cut some U.S. prices last year after negotiating with Department of Health and Human Services o􀀝cials, and Trump celebrated the deals at the White House.  \nThe text of the agreements show that key terms remained unresolved when company executives promoted them with Trump. They also detail administration commitments that were not publicly disclosed, such ashow it will resolve disputes with Pfizer.  \nThe documents contain broad confidentiality provisions. In its agreement with Pfizer, HHS pledged to “treat all Confidential Information as exempt from release under FOIA” and to limit access to government personnel needed to carry out the agreement.  \nThe agreement also “includes an unmistakable promise that HHS will take all regulatory, administrative, and other actions necessary” to carry out its terms, according to a document dated Sept. 30, 2025, and signed by Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla and Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.  \nSEE DRUG PRICES ON A2  \n\n|  |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| |  |  |  |\n| CRAIG HUDSON/FOR THE WASHINGTON POST\u003Cbr>Demonstrators gather outside of the Kennedy Center during the“Hands Around the Kennedy Center”protest on Friday.\u003Cbr>Thousands rally outside beloved venue\u003Cbr>Vigil takes place at the end of a week that saw the doors to the Kennedy Center locked shut |  |  |  |\n| BY SOPHIA SOLANO AND JADE TRAN\u003Cbr>Thousands of supporters of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts gathered Friday as the sun set over the Potomac, surrounded as much of the building as they could, linked arms and chanted: “Hands o􀀞! Hands o􀀞!”\u003Cbr>For the first time in what felt to them like ages, their beloved arts center was brimming with life.\u003Cbr>The vigil, which had been in | the works for months, took on fresh urgency at the end of a week that saw the doors to the marble building locked shut, while President Donald Trump indicated the structure could be“ripped down” if his name isn’t added to the institution.\u003Cbr>There were dogs and bikers; elders with gray hair and babies with no hair; people in Nationals jerseys and business casual attire (equally ubiquitous D.C. uniforms). Most wore one common item: a red pin that read,“Hands O􀀞 the Arts.” | The protest was organized by an advocacy group of the same name, which was founded by Kennedy Center sta􀀞 in the immediate aftermath of Trump’stakeover last spring and has since campaigned against his changes to the institution.“The center had more or less become like a mausoleum rather than a vibrant cultural center,”co-organizer Mallory Miller said before the vigil.“But a lot of us have amazing memories of the center hustling and bustling with people. We wanted to kind | of bring that feeling back.”\u003Cbr>The event was initially planned for July as a cap to the group’s 172-day protest of Trump’s changes at the center. It was intended to celebrate what they saw as victories — Richard Grenell’s stepping down from his role as interim head and the center’s continued operations past July 4, when it had been previously scheduled to close.
