Trump unveils 100% tariff that could hit some patented drugs this year
President Donald Trump has signed an executive order that could slap long-threatened pharmaceutical tariffs of up to 100% on some patented drugs from companies that don’t reach deals with his administration in the coming months. Companies that have signed a “most favored nation” pricing deal and are actively building facilities in the U.S. to onshore production of patented pharmaceuticals and their ingredients will have a 0% tariff. For those that don’t have a pricing deal but are building such projects in the U.S., a 20% tariff will apply but increase to 100% in four years. Companies still have months to negotiate before the 100% tariffs kick in. Also Thursday, Trump rolled out an update on his 50% tariffs on imported steel, aluminum and copper.

Workers whose lives DOGE upended question what was saved
A year after federal employees were hit by the Trump administration’s cost-cutting efforts through the Department of Government Efficiency, it remains unclear what the agency saved.

The 300 workers were fired by the Republican administration, rehired and fired again, a reflection of the chaos wrought by DOGE. Some federal workers are still wondering if their pain was worth the effort. The DOGE website says it has saved about $215 billion through various actions.
