Billionaire Mark Cuban stood on the White House<\/a> stage Monday alongside the man he spent the last year trying to keep out of the Oval Office.<\/p>\n

The former “Shark Tank” star and outspoken Kamala Harris<\/a> surrogate appeared beside President Donald Trump during the rollout of TrumpRx.gov, which is a new initiative aimed at lowering the cost of 600 generic prescription drugs.<\/p>\n

The program partners the Trump administration with major private-sector companies, including Amazon, GoodRx and Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drugs \u2014 officially making Trump and Cuban business partners after a history of heated political attacks.<\/p>\n

WATCH<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

For much of the campaign cycle, Cuban repeatedly blasted Trump\u2019s economic policies while campaigning for Harris<\/a>.<\/p>\n

TRUMP’S QUEST TO REDUCE DRUG PRICES IS HEATING UP. BUT WILL HE BE ABLE TO DO IT?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Monday\u2019s appearance was a dramatic sight based on their shared vitriol.<\/p>\n

The awkward alliance comes shortly after Cuban admitted he regretted selling a majority stake<\/a> in the Dallas Mavericks to the Adelson family, led by billionaire Miriam Adelson, one of Trump\u2019s biggest donors.<\/p>\n

Cuban recently said on a podcast, “I regret who I sold to,” after the franchise traded away superstar Luka Don\u010di\u0107.<\/p>\n

When a reporter pointed out how “remarkable” it was to see the two former rivals sharing a stage, Trump quickly took a jab at the billionaire.<\/p>\n

“Well, he made a mistake. It was a big mistake,” Trump said, drawing laughter from the crowd \u2014 even from Cuban himself.<\/p>\n

After the news conference, Cuban was swarmed by reporters asking whether he regretted backing Harris during<\/a> the election.<\/p>\n

MARK CUBAN DEFENDS HARRIS’ FLIP-FLOPPING POSITIONS: ‘I’VE CHANGED A LOT OF MY POSITIONS’<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“I\u2019m not going into my politics at all,” Cuban said, shutting down the question.<\/p>\n

Instead, the Dallas Mavericks minority owner framed the partnership as a bipartisan effort focused on lowering healthcare costs.<\/p>\n

“Democrats want cheaper medications, too. When all is said and done, the goal is the goal. How do we make medications and healthcare cheaper? That’s all I care about,” Cuban said.<\/p>\n

When reporters pressed him again about Trump, Cuban urged people to look past the politics and focus on the outcome.<\/p>\n

“The way I always look at politics and any politician is, the only thing I care about is can they reduce the stress of the American people?” Cuban said.<\/p>\n

“This, TrumpRx and Cost Plus Drugs<\/a> working together, is one step toward reducing your stress. To me, that’s the ultimate goal,” Cuban added.<\/p>\n

For a billionaire who spent months campaigning against Trump, Cuban now finds himself helping promote one of the president\u2019s biggest healthcare initiatives.<\/p>\n

They’re now … best frenemies.<\/p>\n
