The executive order called for an overhaul of the museums and called out the American Women’s History Museum, which now exists only as an online exhibition,

US President Donald Trump puts 100pc tariff on some pharmaceuticals

Donald Trump has pulled the trigger on a longstanding threat to impose a 100 per cent tariff on drug imports. The US president’s latest order shows he remains committed to his aggressive tariff regime despite February’s Supreme Court ruling that invalidated his centrepiece “Liberation Day” tariffs. It also reflects anger inside his administration about international pricing systems, including Australia’s Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS), which mean Americans often pay much higher prices for medicines than overseas customers. The newly announced tariff will apply to patented drugs manufactured outside the United States. But it will be reduced to 20 per cent for
