President Donald Trump plans to impose new tariffs on pharmaceutical companies that have not struck deals to sell their drugs directly to consumers as part of his “Most Favored Nation” pricing initiative.

The forthcoming tariffs are expected to apply to imports of patented drugs and their active ingredients, according to a draft of an order obtained by CNN.

Those medications would be hit with a 100% tariff, according to the draft order, while providing some pathways for drugmakers to reduce or avoid those levies if they negotiate a deal with the administration or move their production to the US.

The draft order is not final and could still change. It is also unclear whether certain types of medications would be exempted. But Trump is expected to roll out the new tariffs as soon as Thursday afternoon, according to a person familiar with the matter.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Bloomberg first reported the planned tariffs.

The new drug tariffs would represent an initial step toward Trump’s pledge to reconstruct his aggressive trade strategy after the Supreme Court ruled in February that some of his most significant and far-reaching tariffs were unconstitutional.

Trump has sharply criticized the ruling and insisted that he will use new regulatory avenues to re-impose a broad swath of tariffs, despite concerns within the GOP that the levies will drive prices even higher for Americans.

The administration has already negotiated deals with more than a dozen drug companies to sell certain medications directly to consumers as part of a “Most Favored Nation” pricing initiative aimed at lowering drug prices.

But the initiative only covers a limited number of drugs so far, many of which have generic alternatives that can be found cheaper elsewhere.

Under the draft order, more drugmakers could be incentivized to strike deals with the administration to avoid the hefty tariffs, which do not apply to companies participating in the “Most Favored Nation” initiative.

The draft language also offers companies the opportunity to cut their tariff rate to 20% for the next four years if they reach an agreement with the administration to move their production to the US. However, that tariff would rise back to 100% in 2030.

美媒：特朗普曾讨论解雇司法部长邦迪

美媒：特朗普曾讨论解雇司法部长邦迪

美国媒体报道，美国总统特朗普对司法部长邦迪的领导能力感到不满，已讨论解雇她一事。

《纽约时报》星期三（4月1日）引述四名熟悉相关谈话的消息人士报道，特朗普对邦迪在打击他的政敌，以及处理已故性罪犯爱泼斯坦案卷的方式等问题上的表现感到不满，曾提出用环境保护局局长泽尔丁取代她。

不过，特朗普在《纽约时报》发表的声明中说：“司法部长邦迪是个了不起的人，她做得很好。”

特朗普星期三早些时候现身美国最高法院，旁听权衡他终结出生公民权政策合法性的口头辩论，成为美国历史上首个在任期间出席最高法院辩论的总统。邦迪当时也在现场。

特朗普在2021年首个总统任期结束后，遭到一系列法律诉讼。他在2024年竞选总统时曾誓言报复，并持续公开指责他认定的对手。

再次担任总统后，特朗普敦促邦迪领导的司法部对这些对手提起诉讼。他去年9月在社媒发帖抨击邦迪，抱怨司法部起诉力度不够。

邦迪曾任佛罗里达州总检察长，在特朗普首个总统任期内的首次弹劾审判中，担任他的辩护律师。

她近来也在爱泼斯坦案中面临压力，这起案件已成为特朗普的政治包袱。国会一个特别委员会向邦迪发出传票，要求她在相关调查中作证。

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro raises record $10 million in 2026

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro’s reelection campaign says it raised more than $10 million in the first three months of 2026, which sets a new state record for that reporting period.

According to a top Shapiro campaign official, the total more than doubles the previous benchmark for a Pennsylvania gubernatorial race at this stage. The official says the haul puts the campaign

in a strong financial position after ending 2025 with over $30 million cash on hand.

The fundraising haul was first reported by Axios.

The contributions came from all 67 counties in Pennsylvania and across all 50 states, reflecting what a top Shapiro aide described as broad national and in-state support. The contributions from across the country show his deepening national donor network ahead of a potential 2028 presidential run.

Shapiro’s book, “Where We Keep the Light,” was released in January, and he kicked off a nationwide book tour that included national appearances such as “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.”

Shapiro is donating $250,000 to the state party for downballot races throughout the state, with a focus on the three GOP-held battleground seats, the official said.

Shapiro, a potential 2028 Democratic presidential contender who was also considered a possible running mate for Kamala Harris in 2024, is expected to faceRepublican state Treasurer Stacy Garrity in the gubernatorial general election as he seeks a second term in November. Pennsylvania’s primary will be on May 19.

Shapiro reaffirmed Tuesday that he won’t make a decision about 2028 until after the midterm elections while at a book tour stop in Erie, Pennsylvania.

“So the only thing I’m focused on, the only thing I think anyone should be focused on, is having a national referendum in these midterms, having an extraordinary turnout for state representative, state senator, Congress, governor — I’m on the ballot again this year,” Shapiro said, according to the Erie Times-News. “It is really, really important we have a national referendum, sending a clear message that we do not like what we’re seeing in Washington, D.C.”

Trump talked with Bondi about the possibility she’d be replaced as attorney general, sources say

President Donald Trump talked to Attorney General Pam Bondi Wednesday about the possibility she would be replaced, three sources familiar with the matter told CNN. But as of Thursday, she remained in her job and had not been fired, one of the officials said.

Trump had in recent days talked to allies about the possibility of firing Bondi, but the conversation directly with her is an indication of how seriously he is considering it. In the conversation Wednesday, which one source described as “tough,” Trump indicated Bondi was not long for her role and he would be replacing her in the near future, sources said.

It was not immediately clear when that might be, and one of the sources said Bondi was told she would be given a different job later. Bondi was in attendance for Trump’s address to the nation Wednesday. CNN has reached out to the Justice Department for comment.

Trump has been frustrated with Bondi on multiple fronts, sources said. In particular, he is upset over her handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, and he has also fumed that she has not investigated or prosecuted enough of his political opponents.

Sources have told CNN that Trump is considering replacing Bondi with Environmental Protection Agency administrator Lee Zeldin, though others are also under consideration. In a statement Wednesday addressing reports that Trump had mused about replacing Bondi, the president said, “Attorney General Pam Bondi is a wonderful person and she is doing a good job.”

This is a developing story and will be updated.

Trump elevates immigration fight at Supreme Court, turning up heat on Democrats ahead of midterms

President Donald Trump’s presence at the Supreme Court this week may not sway the justices, who appeared skeptical of the president’s push to curb birthright citizenship for undocumented immigrants.

But Trump’s historic appearance — no sitting president has attended oral arguments at the high court before — showcased the president’s great interest in his landmark effort to upend more than a century of legal precedent that allowed automatic citizenship to those born in the U.S.

And the president’s presence at the Supreme Court may pack a political punch by energizing MAGA voters ahead of the midterm elections, when Republicans will be defending their fragile House and Senate majorities.

“Immigration is the issue that has most defined Donald Trump during his time as a national political figure, and his record on border security remains one of the core accomplishments of his second term,” longtime Republican strategist Colin Reed told Fox News Digital.

Reed emphasized that “even if the Supreme Court does not side with his perspective in this particular case, the president is making clear that he is not abandoning his commitment to the broader issue.”

TRUMP MAKES HISTORIC APPEARANCE AT THE SUPREME COURT

On his first day back in the White House last year, Trump signed an executive order which declared that children born in the U.S. to undocumented immigrants or those on limited-duration visas would no longer be granted U.S. citizenship.

But the order never took effect, after it was quickly hit with a slew of lawsuits and was subsequently blocked by federal judges from coast to coast who argued it violated longstanding legal precedent.

Barbara to determine if President Trump’s executive order ending birthright citizenship is constitutional.(Al Drago/Getty Images)

The president on Wednesday stayed quiet until after he left the court, and after the arguments in the case concluded, before taking to social media to write, “We are the only Country in the World STUPID enough to allow ‘Birthright’ Citizenship!”

Most Americans appear to disagree.

Sixty-nine percent of voters support birthright citizenship for children born in the United States to illegal immigrants, according to a Fox News national poll conducted March 20–23.

But there’s a wide partisan divide, with 91% of Democrats and three-quarters of independents but only 44% of Republicans supporting birthright citizenship in such cases.

A majority of Republicans questioned in the poll, 55%, disagreed. And among self-described MAGA Republicans, opposition edged up to 60%.

“Combating illegal immigration has always been President Trump’s strongest issue, and he’s made our borders more secure than they’ve ever been. He’s obviously fighting a lot of battles and birthright citizenship is one of them,” seasoned Republican communicator Tim Murtaugh told Fox News Digital.

Murtaugh, a veteran of Trump’s 2020 and 2024 presidential campaigns, said that “the president’s attendance at the oral arguments shows how much he cares about the issue, and draws a far brighter spotlight onto the illogic of birthright citizenship than would otherwise have happened if he hadn’t shown up.”

And Murtaugh sees the issue putting Democrats on defense in the midterms.

“It’s possible that the court will say that Congress must address the issue. If so, this would be highly relevant in the midterm elections because Democrats are very much going to be put on the defensive for their support of illegal aliens and lawlessness,” Murtaugh argued.

Immigration and border security was a winning issue for Trump and Republicans and helped fuel their sweeping victories in the 2024 elections, when they won back the White House and the Senate and defended their House majority.

But in the wake of political backlash earlier this year over Trump’s unprecedented illegal immigration crackdown, polling on the issue raises warning signs for Republicans and suggests immigration may come back to take a bite out of the GOP in the midterms.

“Let’s be clear: Ending birthright citizenship is central to Trump’s broader radical agenda to target immigrant families,” Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin charged. “If Trump gets his way, overturning birthright citizenship will create chaos in our communities.”

特朗普宣称已近胜利 誓把伊朗“打回石器时代”

2026年4月2日 23:15 / 联合早报

（华盛顿/德黑兰综合电）美国总统特朗普在伊朗战争爆发一个多月后首次发表全国讲话，宣示核心战略目标已近完成。他恫言，美国将在接下来两三周继续猛烈打击伊朗，势必将它“打回所属的石器时代”。伊朗则誓言坚决抵抗这场“非法战争”，直至敌人投降。

特朗普讲话后，投资者对局势恐难在短期内缓解、甚至可能进一步升级而更感焦虑。市场再受震荡，全球股票和债券价格应声下跌，油价飙升。

特朗普在星期三（4月1日）黄金时段，向美国人民发表近20分钟电视讲话。令人失望的是，他仍未就美以伊冲突如何以及何时结束释出明确信息，只是老调重弹。

特朗普说，美军过去四周在战场上取得了迅速、果断且压倒性的胜利。“我们正在有系统地瓦解这个政权威胁美国或在境外投射力量的能力……这些行动将使伊朗军队瘫痪，粉碎他们支持恐怖代理组织的能力，杜绝他们制造核弹的能力。”

特朗普宣称，战事很快会结束。“未来两三周，我们将对他们进行极其猛烈的打击，把他们打回原本所属的石器时代。与此同时，谈判也在继续。”

他警告，伊朗若拒绝达成协议，美国将打击伊朗所有发电厂，并可能袭击伊朗石油目标。

美国智库昆西研究所执行副总裁特帕西（Trita Parsi）接受半岛电视台访问时形容，此次讲话基本上是特朗普“过去30天发布的所有推文的总结，且几乎是按时间顺序排列”。

伊朗誓抵抗到底

针对特朗普的威胁，伊朗军方星期四（2日）誓言对美以发动更猛烈、范围更广、更具破坏性的打击，战争将持续“至敌人受尽羞辱、永远后悔并投降为止”。

伊朗军队总司令哈塔米已命令作战指挥部严密监视敌人动向。他警告：“敌人一旦发动地面战，他们将全军覆没。”

伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队星期四稍晚发声明说，他们对美国电商巨头亚马逊在巴林的云计算中心发动了袭击，并称这是对敌人的第一次实际警告。声明说：“如果这些警告被无视，暗杀行为继续，我们将更严厉地惩罚已宣布要瞄准的其他企业。这些企业在中东地区的设施被彻底摧毁，责任完全在美国总统身上。”

革命卫队也声称袭击了波斯湾地区与美国有关的钢铝厂，并警告，如果伊朗工业再受袭击，势必对以色列主要基础设施及美国在中东的经济产业实施更猛烈打击。

伊朗两家大型钢铁厂星期四称，因遭受一系列袭击被迫停运。其中，伊斯法罕省的穆巴拉凯（Mobarakeh）钢铁厂生产线已关闭。位于阿瓦士市的胡齐斯坦（Khuzestan）钢铁厂说，需至少六个月才能重启停产的装置。

伊朗媒体报道，连接德黑兰与西部城市卡拉季的B1公路桥遭到空袭，数人受伤。这座大桥于今年早些时候启用，堪称中东最高桥梁。

伊朗外交部发言人巴加埃星期四说，伊朗全国正团结一致“对抗不公正的侵略战争”，只要敌人继续攻击伊朗的人民和城市，伊朗势必抵抗到底。他重申，美伊之间没在进行任何谈判，并指美方提出的要求“过分且不理智”。

《纽约时报》星期三引述美国官员报道，美国情报机构认为伊朗政府现阶段并不愿意就结束战争展开实质谈判。

伊朗总统：美国如“以色列代理人”

星期三较早时，伊朗总统佩泽希齐扬发表一封致美国人民的公开信，称伊朗对普通美国人并无敌意，并质疑特朗普政府是否真正奉行“美国优先”。

佩泽希齐扬称，把伊朗描绘成威胁并不符合事实，特朗普政府这么做，其实是为施压、维持军事霸权、支撑军工产业与控制战略市场制造借口。

他指责美国袭击伊朗关键基础设施，形同剑指伊朗人民，这构成了战争罪，后果远超伊朗境内。

佩泽希齐扬也质疑美国受以色列的影响和操纵，犹如“以色列代理人”加入这场侵略战。他问道：“这场战争到底符合美国人民的哪些利益……这些行径除了会进一步损害美国国际地位，还有什么作用？

Trump likely to replace Bondi as attorney general, but no final decision yet, sources say

Washington— President Trump is seriously considering replacing Pam Bondi as attorney general because of dissatisfaction with how aggressively the department has pursued some of his priorities, sources familiar with the matter told CBS News.

White House officials have discussed several possibilities as options for attorney general, but Lee Zeldin, the Senate-confirmed administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, is the likely replacement, sources said Thursday.

Mr. Trump met with Zeldin on Tuesday.

The president is fond of Bondi, and expresses personal affection for her in private conversations, multiple sources said earlier this week. He has also long praised her publicly and is likely to offer her another position in the administration.

Nothing was final as of Thursday.

“Attorney General Pam Bondi is a wonderful person and she is doing a good job,” Mr. Trump said in a statement to CBS News.

During Bondi’s tenure, the department has pursued a wide variety of criminal investigations into Mr. Trump’s perceived political opponents, but most of the cases to date have not proven successful. Mr. Trump is frustrated there haven’t been more indictments and arrests, sources said.

Bondi, who has defended Mr. Trump as a private attorney and as the nation’s top law enforcement official, is viewed as a loyal political ally to the president. She was part of his legal team during his first impeachment.

The Justice Department has seen sweeping changes in the year since Bondi was confirmed, from the shuttering of multiple offices to the mass exodus of thousands of federal lawyers who resigned, took buyouts or were fired.

Most employees who were fired worked on issues that were disfavored by Mr. Trump and his allies — including prosecutors and FBI agents who were involved in probes into Mr. Trump over his retention of classified records and efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
