Donald Trump has announced sweeping new tariffs of up to 100 per cent on patented pharmaceutical imports, aiming to push global drugmakers to move manufacturing to the United States. Companies that shift production and reduce prices can avoid the tariffs, while those that partially comply may face 20 percent duties. Firms that refuse both conditions could be hit with tariffs as high as 100 percent. Generic medicines are currently exempt from the policy, offering temporary relief for India, which dominates global generic drug exports. However, officials have warned the exemption may be reviewed if production is not relocated to the United States.

A dramatic escalation unfolds in the Middle East as a wave of coordinated drone strikes targets US positions across Iraq and beyond. Within just 24 hours, at least 41 strikes have been reported, marking one of the most intense bursts of activity in recent months. Groups identifying as part of the “Islamic Resistance in Iraq” claim responsibility for launching dozens of drones aimed at US military bases and associated assets. What makes this development more significant is the widening geographic scope. Bahrain has now emerged within the broader strike zone, raising concerns over a potential spillover into the Gulf region. Analysts warn that such cross-border targeting could reshape the regional security landscape and trigger wider geopolitical consequences. WATCH
