Trump boasts about striking bridge in Iran | ABC News Top Stories
The Australian government has responded to US president Donald Trump's announcement to impose 100 per cent tariffs on drug imports. In a statement to the ABC, a spokesperson for trade and tourism minister Don Farrell says the Albanese government will continue to make the strongest case for the removal of unjustified and unwarranted tariffs. The US government has been critical of Australia's pharmaceutical benefits scheme. But Minister Farrell says Labor will never negotiate on the design of the PBS. Independent MP Kate Chaney says she will push the federal government to go further in its crackdown on gambling. The government has announced plans to cap the number of gambling ads on daytime TV, and to ban ads on sports jerseys and online platforms for under 18s. Ms Chaney says a major parliamentary report recommended a national online gambling regulator be established. US President Donald Trump has shared a video on social media of what he says was a strike on a major bridge in Iran, warning Tehran should make a deal "before it is too late". It comes as the US and Israel have stepped up attacks on Iranian infrastructure, including a medical research centre. Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi responded by saying that "striking civilian structures" would not compel Iranians to surrender.
