Yes, but isn't this also due to monopsony powers, where there is only ONE BUYER, in this case a foreign government, who can force the price down for their purchase?

That can be a factor, but I don't think that, say, the Canadian online pharmacies that offer large discounts over US prices are obtaining their drugs from the Canadian government.
