Trump: ‘Major’ pharmaceutical tariffs coming soon

By  Ashleigh Fields | The Hill President Trump said Tuesday his administration soon would announce “major” tariffs on pharmaceuticals, adding to the tariffs he has already imposed on most goods entering the United States from abroad. “We’re going to be announcing very shortly a major tariff on pharmaceuticals,” Trump said during a speech at the National Republican Congressional Committee. “And when they hear that, they will leave China. They will leave other places because they have to sell — most of their product is sold here, and they’re going to be opening up their plants all over the place in our country,” he added.  READ THE FULL STORY AT THE HILL

White: Trump’s ‘Office Of Shipbuilding’ might be just what America needs to revive its power on high seas

By Wallace White | Daily Caller, Commentary While America’s maritime power has been left to languish and China’s influence on the high seas continues to grow, experts say President Donald Trump’s new “Office of Shipbuilding” is a crucial first step to the U.S. regaining its naval prowess. Trump announced in his joint address to Congress in March that he would create the office with the intent to revive both commercial and military shipbuilding in the United States. America finds itself in dire straits in maritime power as the manufacturing base continues to shrink while China continues to outpace the U.S., with experts telling the Daily Caller News Foundation that Beijing’s dominance poses serious national security risks.

Pentagon replies to DOGE ‘5 bullets’ request with details of ‘action-packed, America first week’

By Hannah Nightingale | The Post Millennial Pentagon Chief Spokesman Sean Parnell on Friday morning released the first weekly situation report, outlining key events that occurred during the week at the Department of Defense. The report was posted to X Friday morning, tagging Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency, and addressed to America’s “warfighters, and the American taxpayers," saying, "This is what we did this week," a callback to the email sent to federal employees by Musk over the weekend asking them to include five things they accomplished in the prior week.

Kirk: Elbridge Colby is the right man to carry out Trump’s America First mandate

By Charlie Kirk | The Federalist, Commentary President Trump was elected with a mandate — a mandate to rethink the core assumptions of Washington, D.C., that have led this country to disaster after disaster. A mandate to put America first instead of last. To fulfill his mandate, the president needs to be able to make the appointments of his choosing without being sabotaged by the members of his own party that he carried to victory in November. Yet right now, a fight has broken out over the nomination of Elbridge Colby to be undersecretary of defense for policy, the top strategy official at the Pentagon. Make no mistake: This is a make-or-break moment for whether Donald Trump’s America First foreign policy will succeed — or even happen. Colby is being attacked precisely because hi...
