White House's Navarro says pharma tariffs likely under Section 232 probe
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -White House trade adviser Peter Navarro said on Thursday that the Trump administration is likely to levy tariffs on pharmaceutical imports under a "Section 232" trade investigation because it's "very clear that we have a national security crisis" due to U.S. reliance on foreign producers in the sector. In an televised interview with CNBC, Navarro did not provide any details on the timing of the Section 232 probe. He said that President Donald Trump's executive order to shore up supply chains will provide price floors for domestic producers of drug ingredients through long-term strategic contracts that will ensure sufficient demand. At the same time, tariffs will deter dumping of pharma precursors from India and China, he added.

Justice Department fires man accused of throwing sandwich at agent during Trump DC intervention
WASHINGTON (AP) — A man charged with a felony for hurling a sandwich at a federal law-enforcement official in the nation's capital has been fired from his job at the Justice Department, Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a social media post Thursday. A video of Sean Charles Dunn berating a group of federal agents late Sunday went viral online as the White House ramped up a surge in law-enforcement patrols in Washington this week. Dunn was arrested on an assault charge after he threw a 'sub-style' sandwich at a Customs and Border Protection agent, a court filing said. Dunn, 37, of Washington, was an international affairs specialist in the Justice Department's criminal division, according to a department official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a personnel matter. 'This is an example of the Deep State we have been up against for seven months as we work to refocus DOJ,' Bondi wrote. 'You will NOT work in this administration while disrespecting our government and law enforcement.' The Justice Department still employs a former FBI agent who was charged with joining a mob's attack on the U.S. Capitol and cheering on rioters during the Jan. 6, 2021, siege. The former FBI supervisory agent, Jared Lane Wise, is serving as a counselor to Justice Department pardon attorney Ed Martin Jr., who was a leading figure in President Donald Trump's campaign to overturn the 2020 election. Around 11 p.m. on Sunday, Dunn approached a group of CBP agents, pointed a finger in an agent's face and swore at him, calling him a 'fascist,' a police affidavit says. An observer's video captured Dunn throwing a sandwich at the agent's chest, the affidavit says. 'Why are you here? I don't want you in my city!' Dunn shouted, according to police. Dunn tried to run away but was apprehended, police said. An attorney for Dunn didn't immediately respond to an email seeking comment. The incident coincided with Trump's push to flood the city with National Guard troops and federal officers. Trump claims crime in the city has reached emergency levels, but city leaders point to statistics showing violent crime at a 30-year low.
